WRC 2011: Ford defends leadership

The work team Ford Abu Dhabi has also defended the Rally Portugal, the third round of this year's World Rally Championship (WRC), his lead in the manufacturers 'and drivers' standings. With third place for Jari-Matti Latvala and Mikko Hirvonen in fourth place for Ford leads the constructors' table continues with ten points ahead.

It is close to the drivers' standings. Defending champion Sebastien Loeb won in Portugal in a Citroën WRC DS3 and moved with Mikko Hirvonen par. Both have 58 points. Behind Jari-Matti Latvala rank with 48 points and Sebastien Ogier (Citroen) with 41 points, was second in Portugal. The two Finnish pilots were with their Ford Focus RS WRC first good start.

And Latvala had been three stages ahead. Then he threw back a puncture and a broken drive shaft. Hirvonen had similar bad luck, which is also angry about a puncture and a damaged suspension that cost him the chance of winning. (Ampnet / jri)
