WRC UPDATE NEWS: Latvala deserves to win rally GB
Latvala was in a close battle for top spot with world champion Sebastien Loeb
before the Citroen driver retired on the road section heading to Sunday’s second
stage when he suffered a head-on collision with a motorist, fortunately without
injury to the occupants of either vehicle.
Loeb’s exit, the result of damage to the radiator of his DS3 WRC, means
Latvala will take a lead of 3m19.5s into Sunday’s final three stages, the first
of which, Halfway 2, begins at 10:36hrs local time.
“Jari-Matti was really up for it this morning and you could tell from Seb’s
voice [after stage 18] that he was trying everything,” said Wilson. “It was
shaping up to be an incredible fight and it would be great for Jari-Matti if he
could get the win. Certainly there’s nobody that deserves the victory more than
Jari-Matti after the season he’s had.”
Ford is currently on course for a podium lockout with Mads Ostberg and
Henning Solberg second and third respectively in their M-Sport Stobart Fiestas.
However, Solberg is coming under mounting pressure from MINI driver Kris Meeke
in the battle for the final podium spot.
