Leading by 36.2s overnight, the eight-time World Champions mastered their tactics to perfection over the final day and Loeb avoided trouble and took no risks on his way to a 42.4s victory over Citroën Total World Rally Team colleagues, Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen.

I am very happy,” said Loeb. “I always win here! It is a great result for the team as well, with Mikko finishing second, a one-two for us.” Hirvonen was also delighted: “I am quite happy with the result. It is my first time with this car on gravel and I was able to stay on a good pace with Sébastien all the way.”

Finland’s Jari-Matti Latvala looked comfortable in third position in the leading Ford Fiesta RS WRC until he was distracted by Evgeny Novikov’s stricken Ford in the daunting Guanjuatito stage. The Finn took avoiding action, thinking that the Ford was in the stage, but the Russian had actually left the road himself and Latvala crashed heavily with the loss of over seven minutes. After an FIA inspection of the damaged Fiesta, the devastated Finn was not able to continue.

Norwegian Petter Solberg and his Ulster co-driver Chris Patterson – leaders of the event after the opening stage – were promoted to the final podium position and managed to take the three bonus points for winning the final Power Stage. “I am delighted with the position but I am still disappointed that I had the four punctures and the brake problem,” said Solberg.

Norwegian Mads Ostberg punctured on SS22 and completed the stage on the rim, but managed to finish in a fine fourth overall and Estonia’s Ott Tänak was fifth. Qatar’s Nasser Saleh Al-Attiyah, partnered by the Italian co-driver Giovanni Bernacchini, was delighted to confirm sixth overall on an event where he won his first ever WRC special stage.

Portugal’s Armindo Araújo confirmed seventh in his Mini JCW WRC. “I started the rally with the electronic problem and then we improved from the first day,” said Armindo. “I am pleased with the Mini. It is the best result of my career in Mexico.”

Sébastien Ogier enjoyed his run in the Skoda Fabia S2000, entered by Volkswagen Motorsport, and finished in eighth overall. Ken Block confirmed ninth in the Monster Ford Fiesta. “A nice event, but I did not enjoy sweeping the roads,” said the American. “I think the new qualifying system kind of screws the privateers, but I learned some new stuff with the car.”

Benito Guerra confirmed victory in the PWRC category with a fine 11th overall, but was beaten to the rank of being the highest-placed Mexican finisher by 10th-placed Ricardo Trivino.

Sunday – as it happened

Loeb began the final day’s four special stages with a 36.2s overall lead, but it was Belgian driver Thierry Neuville who opened the day’s proceedings through the 4.42km super special stage in his Citroën Junior World Rally Team DS3. He lined up alongside Australia’s Chris Atkinson for the benefit of the four laps of the Autodromo spectator stage.

Preserving the tyres was an important factor, with three punishing gravel stages to follow, and Neuville set the fastest time of 3m 12.5s to record his first ever WRC stage win. Block stalled on the start line and Loeb beat Hirvonen to extend his overall lead to 36.5s. “It was the biggest honour in my career to be on the stage against Sébastien (Loeb) and the best team in the world,” enthused Brazilian driver Paulo Nobre.

The mammoth 54.3km Guanajuatito special was next on the agenda, although Hirvonen had openly admitted that the fast, flowing nature of the longest timed test of the entire event would make it less of a challenge than the Ibarilla and Otates stages everyone had tackled on Saturday.

Hirvonen may have been confident, but the stage provided the drama of the rally: Atkinson pulled out with a broken damper 20km into the special, Novikov left the road and retired from 11th place and Al-Attiyah set the early target time of 36m 51.1s.

Solberg managed to beat the Qatari, but Hirvonen pipped Loeb by 0.7s to set the fastest time. Østberg punctured and finished the stage on the rim, but Latvala’s determined charge to try and pressurise the leading duo came to an end when he rolled his Ford Fiesta and lost over seven minutes. He dropped to seventh overall.

“I saw from far away Novikov’s car and I was very confused,” said the Finn. “I first thought the car was on the road and I made a movement to avoid it and my car went off, away, and rolled. It took a lot to get it back on the road. I think I can continue but I lost a lot of points.”

Unfortunately for the Finn, an FIA technical official would not let the Finn start the penultimate Derramadero stage, because of damage to the roll cage, and Latvala’s misery was complete. Loeb pipped Solberg to the fastest time and headed into the Power Stage with a 41-second lead over Hirvonen.

But Ford had something to smile about after the Power Stage; Solberg managed to set the fastest time and pick up the three bonus points, with Loeb taking two points for second and Østberg collecting a bonus point for third. Guerra confirmed the PWRC victory, although was beaten to being the top Mexican finisher by Ricardo Trivino.

Q:
Yves, another strong day for you with a 1-2. Sébastien has a nice lead now. But it is still a difficult day tomorrow. How confident are you feeling?

YM:
For sure, tomorrow we have a 54km stage but, with the gap we have now, we need to be careful and avoid any problems.

Q:
Would you say the drivers have now gone into safety mode?

YM:
Yes, we did it also this afternoon. After the first stages we saw that it was difficult for Jari-Matti to come back and we asked them to slow down. Tomorrow, we also have to consider the Power Stage. We hope to take maximum points on this.

Q:
Yves Matton seems quite confident that he will take maximum points in the rally and the Power Stage, Malcolm. What do you feel about that?

MW:
Umm. I think it will be difficult for the rally that is for sure. I’m not so sure about the Power Stage. We are not going to let him have everything this weekend. 

Q:
We saw Jari-Matti on a good charge yesterday afternoon and this morning.  What happened out there?

MW:
He set off this morning and the intention was to apply some pressure. He was doing that, but just cut a little too close and there was a rock edge and it clipped the inside of the rim, broke the wheel and deflated the tyre. Ott Tänak had exactly the same thing. I think anything can happen on this rally. Remember, we were third and fourth going into the final day in 2003 or 2004, I think, and ended up finishing first and second, so both guys need to drive quite quickly.

Q:
Sven, talk us through the day today for Sébastien Ogier and Kevin Abbring?

SS:
Well, this morning, both drivers felt quite confident even though the S2000s were penalised with these heights (altitude). They were really enjoying it, but Kevin had to retire with an engine failure and will not restart tomorrow. Sébastien is ninth overall at the moment and has two points and we hope he has a good day tomorrow.

Q:
You mentioned next year. We are all very excited about the Polo. What can you tell us about the development of the car so far?

SS:
Not much…we have done the first couple of tests. Let’s say we are happy with the results, but there is still a long way to go before we can compete with these guys on my left.

Q:
We already see a big Volkswagen presence at the rally. It is good to see the signs everywhere?

SS:
You could say that Mexico is part of the Volkswagen culture. We built the Beetle here until, I think, 2002 and we have a factory here. We are already very happy to be a part of the WRC.

Q:
Sébastien, you have a 36-second lead over Mikko Hirvonen. It’s been another great day for you?

SL:
Talk to me about this morning. How much pressure were you feeling?

SL:
I knew that I did not do a good stage. I had a good start until the middle of the stage. Everything was perfect, but then I see I lose some time. Some time you start to brake a bit early and lose the feeling. The second stage was different and I pushed hard and it was much better.

Q:
Mikko, you said last night that you would put pressure on your team-mate. You did that on the first stage and then a gap started to appear. Where did it go wrong?

MH:
It did not feel so wrong. There were some sections where I struggled, where I was very aggressive in the Fiesta last year. Then I realised that when I backed up the time was better. It has not been a bad day, just not the best rhythm. Sébastien got away and Jari-Matti had his problem and so it was a lot better to slow down a little bit to avoid trouble.

Q:
We have a 54km stage tomorrow. Is that more difficult than the ones today?

MH:
No, I think it is the other way around. I think today’s stages were more difficult. It is a longer stage but it is a little bit wider, faster and more flowing. 

Q:
Jari-Matti yesterday you were flying and again this morning. But then you got a puncture. What happened?

JM-L:
In this rally, for us, the speed has been okay. I really enjoy the drive, the car, everything is there. Rocks are causing the problems. When I was pushing hard this morning, I was cutting the corners and there were rocks. I hit the rocks and I got the puncture. It was fully my mistake and that is where I lost the time.

Q:
Yves Matton says that his team wants maximum points and the win on the Power Stage. How will you push to try and win the Power Stage?

JM-L:
Of course I am going to push for that. I need to try to get some points. At the beginning of the rally we could have been fighting for the victory. If I can get some extra points back that would be great. 

Q:
Sébastien, what are your thoughts on Mexico? You have great support here. What do you say to the fans out there?

SL:
It is incredible for us to come here every year. The first time we came there was nearly nobody here. It grows every year. I feel that it may even be the most beautiful of the season. There is a great atmosphere here and I say thank you to all the fans (big cheers from the crowd).

Ends

The eight-time World Champions are chasing a sixth successive WRC win in Mexico and began the day with an 11.2-second advantage over Citroën World Rally Team colleagues, Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen.

The wily Loeb mastered his tactics to perfection over the challenging special stages, often held at altitude around Guanajuato and León, to gradually tighten his vice-like grip on the event. Hirvonen had no answer to the champion’s strategy, but maintained a comfortable second overall nonetheless

“There was no chance today to take it easy,” said Loeb. “The Fords were pushing hard and I knew Mikko would be going fast as well. There were places with rocks in the track and I had to be careful. I managed to build up a good lead. It was a good day, but tomorrow we have a long stage. But I am in a good position.”

Predictably, the Ford duo of Jari-Marti Latvala and Petter Solberg mounted a brave and determined challenge and maintained the pressure on the leading duo throughout the morning. But a puncture and a shredded tyre ruined Latvala’s charge in SS15 and his priority duly changed to trying to preserve third overall. After disposing of Mads Østberg during the morning, the Finn briefly ceded third to Solberg, before speeding up over the closing stages to consolidate the final podium position.

Norwegian Mads Ostberg was realistic about his chances of catching the factory Fords and was content to hold a solid fifth. A flat tyre nearly dropped Estonian Ott Tänak into Evgeny Novikov’s clutches after the 15th stage, but Tänak responded in an impressive manner to confirm sixth at the end of the day.

Qatar’s Nasser Saleh Al-Attiyah, who had become the first Arab driver ever to win a WRC special stage on Friday evening, held eighth after being embroiled in his own battle with Aussie Chris Atkinson, before the latter’s retirement with brake woes. The Qatari inherited seventh on the final stage of the day when Novikov wrenched a wheel off his Ford.

Portugal’s Armindo Araújo was better pleased with his Mini’s set-up over Saturday’s stages and finished the day in eighth. Sébastien Ogier struggled to match the more powerful WRC cars in his Skoda Fabia S2000 and held ninth, Ken Block climbed to 10th in the Monster Ford Fiesta and Benito Guerra strengthened his grip on the PWRC category.

Saturday – as it happened

Latvala posted his intent from the outset and set a stunning time through the 29.90km Ibarilla stage, the Finn beating Hirvonen by 5.3s and, in so doing, he snatched third overall from Østberg. Hirvonen managed to reduce Loeb’s overall lead to 8.7s. Guerra was suffering from tyre wear and kept his PWRC lead, but lost 12th place to a resurgent Ken Block. Brazilian Paulo Nobre left the road again and retired.

A clean run and the lack of tyre issues was critical in the 41.88km Otates special stage – the 14th and longest stage of the event so far – and Loeb set the fastest time to extend his advantage over Hirvonen to 18.2s. Latvala earned the second fastest time to reduce his former team-mate’s hold on second place to 67.4s, but the top 10 held station on the return to León for service.

“I am probably going a little too much sideways,” admitted Latvala. “We have a different set-up this year for Mexico. It is normally set for the faster roads and we did not expect so much twisty. I cannot catch the top two with the difference. I just need to keep the pressure on.”

But keeping the pressure on came with its own risks and Latvala clouted a rock four kilometres into the re-run of the Ibarilla stage and collected a puncture. He was forced to complete the stage on the shredding front tyre and the lost time pushed him three seconds behind Solberg - into fourth overall - and enabled Ostberg to close to within 1.8s of fourth overall.

Loeb was his usual calm and determined self and another fastest time stretched his lead over Hirvonen to 21.7s. Tänak also punctured on the tricky stage and reached the finish still in sixth overall, but a mere 4.2s in front of Novikov’s similar Ford Fiesta.

Guerra strengthened his grip on the PWRC category when series leader Michal Kosciuszko was delayed on the road section to the 15th stage and ultimately retired soon afterwards after removing a wheel. Engine oil pressure problems had already accounted for Škoda’s Kevin Abbring.

A resurgent Latvala was quickest through the second Otates stage and regained third position from Solberg. Loeb admitted that he had taken it easy over the last few kilometres to avoid damaging the car and his tyres on some larger rocks in the track, but he still managed to extend his overall lead over Hirvonen to 28.7s.

Atkinson crossed the flying finish line and was given a stage time, but he clouted a banking, spun across the track, reversed and was forced to park his damaged Ford at the side of the stage after brake issues. He had been beaten on the special by Al-Attiyah in any case and the Qatari duly climbed to eighth position. In the other close battle within the top 10, Tänak extended his hold on sixth over Novikov to 5.8s.

Loeb erred on the side of caution through the 17.91km of the first Comanjilla stage and admitted that other cars had been flicking a few stones into the track, which could have caused problems. Latvala duly set the fastest time and beat Hirvonen by over 12 seconds into the bargain, but the Citroën duo remained well clear in first and second overall.

Two runs through the 2.21km super special stage were merged, rather than run them both as individual entities, and Loeb and Solberg set the equal fastest time of 3m 14.3s. There were no major dramas for the leaders and Loeb headed to the last stage of the day – the rerun of the Comanjilla stage – with an overall lead of 36.5s.

Novikov took a wheel off his Ford Fiesta and was unable to go any further. His demise promoted Al-Attiyah to seventh, Araújo to eighth, Ogier to ninth and Ken Block into the unofficial top 10. Latvala set the quickest time, but the day belonged to Loeb – the Frenchman had a lead of 36.2 seconds to take into the final day.

Tomorrow

Sunday’s third and final leg of Rally Guanajuato Mexico provides a true sting in the tail. There are only four stages on the agenda, but they include the daunting 54.30km of the Guanajuatito special (10.33hrs) after an opening encounter with the 4.42km of the super special stage (09.30hrs), near León.

The long stage precedes the 10.58km of Derramadero at 12.06hrs and the final run through the 5.46km VW Power Stage at 13.18hrs. The finish podium is scheduled for 15.00hrs in León.
