Record-breaking Rovanperä triumphs in Estonia

Kalle Rovanperä made history as the youngest winner of an FIA World Rally Championship round on Sunday after a masterful drive at Rally Estonia. Rovanperä led for almost all the four-day event in a Yaris World Rally Car, fending off a fierce early challenge from Craig Breen before storming clear to win by 59.9sec. Breen’s Hyundai i20 team-mate, Thierry Neuville, was third, a further 12.5sec back. Ott Tänak was fastest through the Wolf Power Stage to claim five bonus points in an i20. Neuville scored four points in second, with Ogier taking three in third in a Yaris. Elfyn Evans secured two points in fourth in another Yaris, with Rovanperä bagging the final point in fifth.
