THE ITALIAN ROUND of WRC held in Sardinia turned out to be a surprise for Ott Tänak, who became the second Estonian rally driver in history to take a WRC win; the first one being Markko Märtin who also happens to be Ott’s mentor.

However, this Italian victory wasn’t an easy one for the Estonian as the competition was quite close in the opening stages of the rally. The first stage saw Thierry Neuville of Hyundai Motorsport take the lead, followed by Ott in his Ford Fiesta. By the end of the SS9, Tänak was pushed to third and Neuville to second by a charging Hayden Paddon of Hyundai Motorsport.
