Toyota's Kalle Rovanpera won Greece's Acropolis Rally on Sunday to stretch his world championship lead over team mate Elfyn Evans to 33 points with three rounds remaining.
The 22-year-old Finn finished one minute and 31.7 seconds ahead of Welshman Evans to seal his third victory of the campaign and second in three years in Greece.
The reigning world champion had led by more than two minutes at the start of the final leg after previous frontrunners Thierry Neuville and Sebastien Ogier retired on Saturday with suspension damage on the rough mountain roads around Lamia.
Rovanpera also took a maximum five bonus points from the final stage, with Neuville returning for that but unable to score.
The Belgian is third overall but now 66 points behind Rovanpera.
