BERLIN — Championship leader Sebastien Ogier won the German rally in dominant fashion Sunday to edge closer to his third consecutive driver's title. Driving a Volkswagen Polo R, Ogier beat teammate Jari-Matti Latvala by 23 seconds in the vineyard-covered hills hugging the Mosel river in western Germany after also dominating the Panzerplatte military area Saturday. The Frenchman, who won the driver's title in 2013 and 2014, was never threatened as Volkswagen completed its set of WRC rally wins since joining in 2013 after becoming the first German car manufacturer to win this round of the championship. Norwegian Andreas Mikkelsen finished third, a further one minute 33 seconds behind Finland's Latvala, to secure all podium spots for the German manufacturer at its home round. — Reuters
