Jari-Matti Latvala won Neste Oil Rally Finland for the third time on sunday after a thrilling duel with FIA World Championship leader Sébastien Ogier.

The Finn repeated last year’s win in a Volkswagen Polo R, beating team-mate Ogier by 13.7sec after 320km of flat out driving over rollercoaster gravel roads in central Finland. The victory promoted him to second in the championship.

Citroën’s Mads Østberg finished third in a DS 3 to secure his third podium of the season.

Ogier won the final live TV Power Stage to claim three bonus points. Latvala took two points in second and Kris Meeke secured one in a DS 3.
