Neuville leads a Hyundai 1-2 in Rally Sardinia after Toyota's Ogier crashed out of the event. WRC
Following on from the morning loop, water splashes created yet more drama as the forecasted heavy rain showers finally arrived.
Ogier dropped 7.7s to his nearest rival Lappi, who took full advantage of the Toyota driver's error by winning the stage. Third-placed Neuville also took time out of Ogier, as he started to close the gap to the front runners. Water poured over the bonnet, which brought the Welshman to a halt with the finish line in sight. He was able to engage EV mode to limp the car to the finish.Motorsport Images
"For sure, the last six kilometres were horrible," said Lappi."The ruts were full of water so you couldn't drive, it was just aquaplaning all the time." But the complexion of the rally changed in the day's penultimate stage when rally leader Ogier crashed out of the event.
