Ott Tanak has ended M-Sport’s year-long WRC win drought in Sweden RallySweden
The Estonian delivered a measured and faultless drive to come through a tense head-to-head with Hyundai’sCompeting in his second event driving the M-Sport Ford Puma following his switch from Hyundai, Tanak claimed a 18.7s victory from Breen. Hyundai deployed team orders ahead of the final stage by making Breen check in late to put him behind his full-time team-mate Neuville, but a mistake from the latter in the final stage wrecked those plans.
Breen, returning to the WRC in his first event of a partial season, emerged as Tanak’s nearest rival. It was the Irishman that shone on Friday afternoon as the new Hyundai signing wrestled the lead away from Tanak, which he took into Saturday’s stages. Neuville won five stages but was locked in a battle with Rovanpera across Saturday and Sunday for what was the final podium spot. He made the most of his fresh tyres on Sunday to pull clear before team orders were deployed.
