Oliver Solberg remains in control of Rally Monte Carlo with a lead of more than a minute, as the wintry conditions worsened at the World Rally Championship season opener on Saturday morning.
Overnight snow showers meant crews faced conditions more akin to Rally Sweden than Monte Carlo, and despite initially losing time, Solberg fought back to restore his lead to 1m02.8s over Toyota team-mate Elfyn Evans. Reigning world champion and Monte master Sebastien Ogier continued to hold third, albeit 1m13.1s from the lead.
