Dominant Latvala wins in Mexico

Jari-Matti Latvala ended his disastrous start to the season with an unchallenged victory at Rally Guanajuato Mexico on Sunday afternoon.

Latvala failed to score in the first two rounds of the FIA World Rally Championship but dominated the opening gravel event of the year in a Volkswagen Polo R to win by 1min 05.0sec.

Team-mate Sébastien Ogier retained the championship lead by finishing second in the hot and dusty mountains near León. Dani Sordo completed the podium on the four-day event in a Hyundai i20, a further 2min 32.9sec behind.

Ogier also won the final live TV Power Stage to claim three bonus points. Latvala took two points for second while Hayden Paddon claimed the final point in third in an i20.
