Swede dreams alive for Latvala

Jari-Matti Latvala’s bid to claim his maiden World Rally victory remains on course after he consolidated his advantage over Ford team-mate Mikko Hirvonen on the second day of the Swedish Rally.

The 22-year-old suffered a scare this morning when he hit a stone in his Focus but kept his cool in slippery conditions to marginally increase his lead over his fellow Finn to 49.8 seconds at the end of leg two.
