Great day for Jari-Matti Latvala – he leads Rallye Deutschland by almost a minute tonight ahead of tomorrow’s 4 final stages over 74.60km… he took the Panzerplatte win for the second time and has won 5 of the 7 completed stages today…. and with VW teammate Sébastien Ogier’s retirement after this morning’s accident, Latvala has the chance to score 28 points here trailing Ogier with just 16 points, with 4 rounds left.
 Latvala has a ring of steel about him at the moment: it was evident in Finland and he has it here: “It should be fine…i think we can take it easy tomorrow…there is a Power Stage…we can think about that later on. I have a good feeling…” “You never want anything bad for your teammate…I did it last year…I know it happens…it opens the Championship…it will be exciting for the rest of the year but first we have to finish this rally…” “Keep the head cool” Latvala leads overnight, Meeke +56.6, Neuville +1:00.9, Sordo +1:26.8, Mikkelsen +1:37.0, Hirvonen +1:53.2, Evans +1:58.1, Østberg +1:59.3, Prokop +4:09.6 http://www.redbull.com/en/motorsports/offroad/episodes/1331673904617/rallye-deutschland-2014-stages-7-10-video
