Latvala overtakes Ogier at Rally Mexico

Jari-Matti Latvala (Volkswagen) continued to string together stage wins in the first pass of the special stages of the third stage of the Rally from Mexico. By taking advantage of his advantageous position on the road, the Finn now has more than a minute ahead of his teammate Sébastien Ogier.

Dani Sordo (Hyundai) reste sur le podium provisoire même si l’Espagnol s’est montré en délicatesse avec ses réglages. Andreas Mikkelsen (Volkswagen) est revenu à moins de 15 secondes de la i20 WRC.

Mads Ostberg (Ford) completes the top five after taking advantage of the problems of Hayden Paddon (Hyundai) who lost around two minutes after damaging the rear of his car by hitting an embankment. The New Zealander is in sixth place ahead Ott Tänak (Ford) and Martin Prokop (Ford).

Éric Camilli (Ford) retired in Ibarrilla (SS11) after going off the road. Thierry Neuville (Hyundai), which started again this morning in Rally 2, also made a mistake.

The second passage of the third stage of the Rally Mexico will be contested from 21:08 p.m. French time.
