"As most of you know a year ago I was taken ill on the way to Rally GB and shortly afterwards I was diagnosed with a brain tumour," he told .
"This was a total shock. I had been 100 per cent committed to trying to win the WRC and suddenly, nothing ꩵwas more❀ important than my health and I had to commit 100 per cent to beating my illness."
The⛄ Englishman, who due to drive alongside Petter Solberg 🐟at Subaru this year, has been receiving treatment since around January.

"I have been following the WRC on the television 💫and I want to🌟 add my congratulations to Seb [Loeb] for winning the Championship this year. He is a very focussed driver and deserves this win.
"Also I would like to wish Carlos [Sa🅰inz] a happy retirement, - he has been a dedicated and passionate rally driver throughout his years and the sport will mi𒀰ss him.
"My treatment has been very intensive but I am now getting phꦺysically and mentally much stronger.
"It is still too soon to think about what the fu💟ture holds - I am just concentrating on trying to get back to ꩵa normal life.
"The doctors still need to keep a close eye on me but, when they give me the OK to travel, I am looking forward to coming to see a ral𝓰ly sometime soon... maybe I will see you there!"
