00:02 - Dakar 2014, probably the most complex race to manage,
00:08 and we won it.
00:09 - Go.
00:13 (dramatic music)
00:16 - I don't know if we started as favorites,
00:20 but I felt very comfortable.
00:22 I had a very, very good first week.
00:24 (dramatic music)
00:28 (car engine roaring)
00:30 - The Dakar is really crazy.
00:32 One day you do well, another day you don't.
00:34 (dramatic music)
00:37 Well, the balance is what it is.
00:44 We're happy, we're here.
00:46 We're fighting to win the Dakar, and tomorrow even more.
00:48 (dramatic music)
00:51 (car engine roaring)
00:54 - We're really driving and pushing as much as we can,
01:04 without thinking too much about the overall,
01:06 and we're actually having fun driving.
01:08 We're pushing the car to its limits,
01:10 we're sliding and jumping.
01:12 We were 40 minutes behind, and we came back to two minutes.
01:15 (dramatic music)
01:20 - In the second week, it was very difficult,
01:22 until it got more complicated
01:24 when the Mini team put in team orders.
01:26 It was a complex situation,
01:31 and it was complex between Stefan and me,
01:33 and also because we stepped together in the same motorhome.
01:36 And at night, Sven Kwant came.
01:40 He took me in a truck and said,
01:42 "No, no, Stefan, we'll stop tomorrow,
01:45 and you're going to win."
01:46 (dramatic music)
01:49 (car engine roaring)
01:52 - Thanks.
01:53 - I slowed down in the final stage
01:58 to give Nani first place again,
02:00 after team orders were given.
02:02 It's hard to accept,
02:05 because we all know how complicated it is to win a Dakar.
02:09 And to give it to Nani, with 30 kilometers to go,
02:12 wasn't easy to do.
02:13 It was hard to swallow.
02:16 (dramatic music)
02:19 - You are great, man.
02:25 - Nani!
02:26 Nani!
02:26 Nani!
02:27 (dramatic music)
02:28 - Stefan accepted it,
02:30 but it is true that it was not a nice victory.
02:32 It was not a very pleasant victory,
02:34 for all those reasons.
02:35 (crowd cheering)
02:39 - Yes!
02:40 (dramatic music)
02:44 (dramatic music)
02:47 (electronic music)
02:49 (whooshing)
