Sebastien Ogier has won Rally Italia Sardegna to extend his lead in the World Rally Championship.
The Frenchman safely negotiated the final stage with a 1m 16.8sec lead in his Volkswagen Polo R, having dominated the event throughout the two days.
Thierry Neuville finished second in a Ford Fiesta RS, the best result of the Belgian’s career.
The top three was completed by the Polo R of Jari-Matti Latvala, who recovered from a first stage puncture yesterday morning to finish 31.2sec behind Neuville.
