“I was pretty calm but when the baby comes out you do want a little assistance,” Andersson, 31, told Aftonbladet newspaper on Monday.
“It was a little strange.”

Andersson, became a junior world rally champion in 2004 and 2007, and came in seventh in the 2011 Rally of Sweden.

“He seems to have it in his genes.”
