WRC : Latvala on top at the end of day one


Jari-Matti Latvala is 9.1s ahead of Petter Solberg at the end of day one of Rally Finland.

The 11 stages on Friday lived up to the reputation the great event has established over its long and glorious history. Early leader Mikko Hirvonen rolled up his Focus RS WRC on SS4 and while he and co-driver Jarmo Lehtinen escaped injury, their weekend was over on the spot. Later, Henning Solberg crashed while running amongst the leaders. 

 
Latvala will be the first on the road for the second and final day of Rally Finland and will have to keep not only one eye peered on Petter Solberg but also the two Sebs. Ogier is third at 21.8s and Loeb is 32.0s adrift of the leader. 
 
Dani Sordo is a comfortable fifth place ahead of Matthew Wilson and the amazing Juha Kankkunen in seventh. Kimi Raikkonen is eighth, ahead of S-WRC class leader Juho Hanninen, who in turn is in a fine battle with Rantanen for the top spot among the S2000 cars.
