The plan to topple Ogier in 2016

Jari-Matti Latvala's hopes of a first World Rally Championship title rest on halting VW team-mate Sebastien Ogier. DAVID EVANS considers whether the Finn can do it in 2016

Jari-Matti Latvala has seen this one coming. We've tried to dress it up, but it's no good. He's smiling, putting us through it. If we want this one, we're going to have to work for it.

He puts us out of our misery.

"I know what you are saying," he offers. Finally.

In for a penny... "Aren't you worried you're running out of time, Jari-Matti?"

He takes a deep breath.

"Look at Marcus [Gronholm]," he says. "Look at Tommi [Makinen]. And Sebastien Loeb. Look at nearly every world champion... They were over 30 when they won for the first time. Colin [McRae] is still the youngest."
