The 41-year-old capped his 191st WRC start by coming through to finish third behind Hyundai team-mate Ott Tanak and Toyota’s Sebastien Ogier - the top two were separated by just by 0.2s.
Sardinia was Sordo’s second start of the season driving Hyundai’s third i20 N following an outing in Portugal where he finished fifth. These two rallies are all that has been confirmed for the Spaniard, who set tongues wagging at the rally finish where he hinted that Sardinia could be his last WRC outing.
