Hirvonen wins Rally of Sweden

Karlstad, Sweden – Finland's Mikko Hirvonen powered his Ford Fiesta to victory in the Rally of Sweden on Sunday, the opening event in the World Rally Championship.
Norwegian Mads Ostberg and Finland's Jari-Matti Latvala finished in second and third respectively to secure a podium sweep for Ford.
The 30-year-old Hirvonen was repeating his 2010 win in the only rally on the calendar staged entirely on snow.
This was the 13th WRC win for the driver who has twice finished runner-up to Sebastien Loeb in the title race, in 2008 and 2009.
