World champion Sebastien Ogier has won the Rally of Mexico, the third round of this year's title series.
The Volkswagen Polo driver, who also won in Mexico in 2013, finished over a minute ahead of teammate Jari-Matti Latvala of Finland.
Belgian driver Thierry Neuville, in a Hyundai, was third, over
five minutes off the pace.
It was Hyundai's first podium place.
Ogier's victory was even sweeter when his win on the 8.25km power-stage, the 22nd overall of the race, gave him a maximum 28 points and allowed him to take the overall lead in the championship with a three-point edge over Latvala.
