Rally Monte Carlo:
Last weekend was the FIA WRC Rally Monte Carlo , Sebastian Ogier won by about 50 seconds ahead of Ott Tänak, third was Latvala, fourth Meek and fifth sadly Neuville after a big time-loss on the Sisteron Stage at night. Seb Ogier said that this was one of his toughest races he has ever had, referring to the tyre choices, which is always difficult due to the tricky conditions. But over the stages Ott could take a lot of pressure on Ogier, so he had to fight very hard to stay in lead. All in all Sebastian Ogier won 5 times consecutive and 6 times overall the Rally Monte Carlo and is leading now with 26 pts over Tänak and Latvala on the leaderboard. Next stop is Rally Sweden, which can be really interesting to see if Neuville&Co can chase up Ogier or if he will extend his lead.
