The World Rally Championship points leader has his sights on eight-time world champion Ogier
World Rally Championship leader Thierry Neuville sees Toyota's Sebastien Ogier as his main title rival despite the latter yet to officially commit to the remaining rounds. The WRC title race has a different complexion after a Rally Finland Neuville described as a 'roller coaster of emotions' that has left the Belgian with a 27-point lead in the standings.

However, shock retirements for long-time leader Kalle Rovanpera and Elfyn Evans on the penultimate stage earned Neuville 24 points, boosted by scoring eight of the 12 points available for Super Sunday.
