00:00Luca Moraes arriva sulla Dakar 2026 come campione del mondo rally ride e al debutto su Dacia.
00:13So you arrived as a new champion and you are testing and racing with the new car.
00:18How do you feel?
00:19No, it feels great.
00:20Actually, I think it was a good first week.
00:22A little up and down too much for us, but with the new car has been really nice to be part of this team.
00:27Incredible lineup, incredible staff.
00:30And yeah, I've managed to finish two stages in top four, score some points for the World Championship already and yeah, ready for the Techno League now.
00:38I'm satisfied because in this first week, in two teams, it was in the first four, so important points for the championship.
00:48Also because for him it was a new team, a new car, a new co-pilot, so I'm very satisfied.
00:54How do you feel the car?
00:57Did you have to change something in your driving style?
00:59No, no, not really. I just need to understand more how was the limit of the car and all the reactions in different situations, so I just decided to take it a little bit easier this first week to understand and to not do something stupid.
01:18But now I'm getting more confident in the car and confident as well, so I'm ready to try to give a big push next week.
01:24Questa prima settimana in realtà è stato un lavoro conservativo anche perché non conosceva la macchina, quindi non ho dovuto cambiare il suo atteggiamento, ma testare un po' il limite e vedere anche le reazioni di come si muoveva la macchina sulle dune o sulle rocce.
01:40Are you ready to attack in the second week?
01:42Sei pronto ad attaccare nella seconda settimana?
01:45Yes, that's the goal. Now we've made the first goal with the team, which is delivery the four cars in the rest day, three in the top ten, including us, so this is good.
01:54And are ready for the second week.
01:56Seconda settimana, l'obiettivo è spingere, attaccare, anche perché il primo, diciamo, hanno centrato la prima missione che era quattro vetture al giorno di riporto.
02:07Would you be happy if, when you arrive in Yabu at the end, which position would you love?
02:14The top spot, the top spot is the best one, so we were going to try to find that, but of course I'm really happy with the team because Nato is leaving, Seth is also really close, so
02:24that's the main goal, to help the team and we'll try to find a way to be on the podium.
02:30Per quanto riguarda il traguardo finale, ho detto, saresti contento se, e lui ha detto chiaro, la vittoria, però innanzitutto guardiamo anche il risultato della squadra, avere tutte le macchine alla fine e soprattutto anche confrontarsi con compagni di squadra come Nasser o Loeb.
02:47E' quality of each one, a quality of Nasser that maybe you'd love to have and the quality of, of course, of Loeb.
02:54Una qualità che vorrebbe avere dei suoi compagni?
02:58I think what Nasser does really, really well, which he always impresses me, is even when he starts in front, he manages to do, well, of course he loses time, but not that much, so I need to learn that.
03:10And I think with Seb it's just the raw speed, when he's on, he's on, and I think I'm trying to get this, and also Christina, when she's on really fast, so I think I can, you know, try to get this from them and try to push the second week.
03:24Quindi che qualità vorrebbe avere di Nasser, soprattutto la sua capacità di gestire la corsa, di restare lucido quando perde dei minuti per non perdere addirittura ancora troppo.
03:35Di Loeb la velocità pura e anche di Christina è rimasta impressionata dalla sua velocità.
