Thierry Neuville became the fifth different winner in five WRC rounds when he won Rally Italia Sardegna on Sunday afternoon.
The Belgian banished memories of a torrid start to the 2016 season by claiming his second career victory in a Hyundai i20. He headed Jari-Matti Latvala’s Volkswagen Polo R by 24.8sec after four-days of rough gravel speed tests on the Mediterranean island.
