|
Ogier's third win in a row gave him a very handsome lead in the championship. It remains to be seen whether title fight is already over or will others recover?
|
|
Hirvonen ended up second but at no point he was able to match Volkswagens. Even team mate Sordo was faster until he went off.
|
|
Volkswagen very nearly scored their first 1-2 but Latvala's broken driveshaft in final day dropped him to third.
