Latvala wins Rally of Argentina

Jari-Matti Latvala dominated world champion and Volkswagen Polo teammate Sebastien Ogier to win the Rally of Argentina on Sunday.

The 29-year-old Finn claimed his second win of the season after also triumphing in Sweden.

Latvala finished 1min 27sec ahead of the French world champion while Ogier was almost six minutes ahead of third-placed Scotsman Kris Meeke in a Citroen.

“Last year I finished on the podium but I couldn’t dream to win here, it’s something special,” said Latvala.

“I crashed in Portugal and there was a risk my self-confidence was down. If Ogier won, there was a chance the championship could become boring, but now we keep it alive.”

Ogier, who won in Monte Carlo, Portugal and Mexico, still leads the championship by 24 points from Latvala.

The sixth round of the series takes place in Sardinia between June 6-8.
