Dani Sordo and Carlos del Barrio have taken victory on a dramatic final test of Rally Italia Sardegna after Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja slowed and spun in the Power Stage with a steering issue.

It is the second win in the Hyundai driver’s FIA WRC career. Teemu Suninen and Jarmo Lehtinen claim second for M-Sport Ford in their first event together, while Sordo’s team-mates Andreas Mikkelsen and Anders Jaeger complete the podium after passing Elfyn Evans and Scott Martin in the last stage.

Tänak fell to fifth position but does take the championship lead away from Sébastien Ogier… if he makes it to Parc Fermé to close the final road section.

Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen are also celebrating a hat-trick in the FIA WRC 2 Pro class, leading Jan Kopecký and Pavel Dresler in a second consecutive one-two finish for Škoda.

Pierre-Louis Loubet and Vincent Landais have taken their second straight win in FIA WRC 2 after the retirement of the overnight leaders Takamoto Katsuta and Daniel Barritt due to a fire caused by oil leaking from their engine.
