The Toyota driver has opened up a commanding 65 point lead over his nearest rival, Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville, after winning four of the six rounds to date.
Since scoring a maiden WRC win in Estonia this time last year, the 21-year-old has won six of the last 12 WRC events. A stellar start to 2022, which has seen Rovanpera finish no worse than fifth, has put the Finn on course to become the youngest ever WRC champion, eclipsing the record set by Colin McRae in 1995.
