 |
Ogier's ninth win of the season crowned his first championship. Whether he can beat nine wins next year remains to be seen.

Latvala was closer to Ogier than ever before this season but still too far away for a serious push for a win.
|
 |
|
Neuville's last rally for Ford was more of a careful exercise rather than out-and-out attempt to win. Third place netted him silver in championship.
