The reigning world champion finished a punishing fifth round of the season 55.0 seconds ahead of Sebastien Ogier, bringing an end to his fellow Frenchman´s run of three straight wins.

ARGENTINA, SS5: OGIER PULLS CLEAR IN THE FOG |
02/05/2013 - With drizzle and visibility down to 50 metres at the finish, there were few drivers with happy faces as they emerged from the gloom of today´s final test.

13/04/2013 - The Polo R drivers dominated this longest leg of the fourth round of the FIA World Rally Championship. Latvala won the opening two stages before Ogier claimed the remaining four tests.
