Dakar-2015 champion, KAMAZ-master driver Airat Mardeev expected the MAZ SPORT-auto crews to impose a closer fight on the Blue Armada, the driver told the correspondent about it.
— Everything is fine at KAMAZ-master. It’s clear the guys are going fast, it’s clear they’re forcing a fight on Sergei Vyazovich,” Mardeev said. – Vyazovich cannot yet drive at the same pace: either wheels or other problems, this clearly shows that the pace is not his.
– That is, they expected more competition from Vyazovich?
— Yes, we thought, yes, he was going [выглядеть] stronger, fight. What could be the problem here? Either in preparation or the machine itself too. There are many factors here. So we thought Alexey Vishnevsky would fight as well. At the same time, it’s a shame that we have Andrei [Каргинова] there were technical problems. Things are not going my way. And so, in general, everything is fine. Half races past – we need to bring this result to the finish line.
