Sébastien Ogier says he won't be attempting to switch to Formula 1 anytime soon following his recent outing with the Red Bull team.
The four-time World Rally Champion got to fulfil a childhood dream when he drove Red Bull's RB7 in Austria last week, lapping the Spielberg circuit 25 times under the watchful eye of David Coulthard.
Although describing the opportunity as "awesome", Ogier still believes the WRC to be the best form of motorsport.
"I think I have more chance to perform well in rally than Formula 1," he said. "To be honest I think rally is the best. I love rally. It's so fantastic to drive all the different surfaces. I really enjoy it so much.

"I'm very, very thankful to Red Bull for giving me the opportunity to drive the Formula 1 [car]. It was awesome, but keeping my feet on the ground I know I have no chance to switch to another career – it was just pure fun."
Ogier heads to Finland now for the next event on the calendar and says it'll take some time adjusting to the differences in speed and braking.
"I think I'll have to make a kind of reset and remember what the speeds and braking points are with my rally car, because if I try the same I'm probably going to have some trouble," he added.
