Ogier retains lead after day 2 of Monte Carlo Rally

Sebastien Ogier has taken World Rally Championship victory in the 2018 Monte-Carlo Rally, with nearly a minute back to 2017 M-Sport team-mate Ott Tanak in second place.

The next leg of the world championships is the Rally Sweden from February 15-18.

Ott Tanak and co driver Martin Jarveoja of Estonia steering a Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT at the start of the 86th Monte Carlo Rally, in Monaco, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2018. He needs only to safely negotiate Sunday's last four stages to win it again, and begin his bid for a sixth straight world title in ideal fashion.

The M-Sport Ford driver charged into the lead on the opening stage and it would become a position he would never release as he measured his momentum and pushed at the right times to keep clear of former team-mate Tanak.

"It was very dirty out there, maybe my tyres were not the ideal choice. It was very dirty and we were a bit on the limit".

Ogier began Sunday with a 33-second lead over the Estonian after Tanak's run of stage wins on Saturday and managed to extend the gap over the four stages.

It was a bittersweet final stage for Toyota, with Jari-Matti Latvala joining team-mate Tanak on the podium, but Esapekka Lappi dropped three places down to seventh after going off and struggling to get the vehicle into reverse.

Belgian driver Thierry Neuville - last year's world rally runner-up - won S12 and S13, but he is way out of contention and sits 5:34 behind Ogier in seventh place.

Ogier joined M-Sport last season after Volkswagen, with whom he won his first four titles, pulled out as part of a strategic shift to help the German carmaker overcome a costly emissions scandal. Countryman Sebastien Loeb won nine straight from 2004-2012.
