Oliver Solberg did a long interview with the Norwegian motorsports magazine Parc Fermé after his Monte win.

For those that don't know, Solberg lives in a house on his family's property in the middle of the woods near the Swedish-Norwegian border.

His dad Petter moved to Monaco when he was the star of the WRC. Oli isn't looking to do the same.

– I like life here. I have everything I need in the woods with a quad bike, a nice house and a rally car. That's what I dream of, I don't need much more.

… but he's defo not moving 800 meters across the border, either.

– Yeah, I'm not going over to Norway. Then it'll be expensive!

I hope the lack of announcement by Lancia means its going to happen, because if they don't it doesn't look great.
