Motorsport:Marcus Gronholm strengthened his grip on the World Rally Championship by winning Rally Greece.
The Finn's title rival Sebastien Loeb followed him home in second to slip to nine points behind in the standings.
Frenchman Loeb was 38.6 seconds adrift at the end in his Citroen, while Norway's Petter Solberg secured the final place on the podium for Subaru, albeit more than a minute and a half off the pace.
The win was Ford driver Gronholm's third of the season, his second triumph in Greece and the 28th of his career.
And the 39-year-old insisted he had more in reserve if he had needed to push on a final day he controlled.
"It has been okay," he told www.autosport.com.
"I was not pushing, I just had to finish. We followed Sebastien's pace today."
Gronholm had taken it a little too easily early in the day, losing six seconds to Loeb, but put the hammer down thereafter.
He was particularly quick during the two daunting runs through the Agii Theodori stage and that, coupled with a pair of punctures for Loeb, was enough to allow him to cruise in the latter stages.
Loeb, though, can console himself that he had the pace, if not the luck, by setting six quickest stage times to the winner's five.
Gronholm's team-mate and countryman Mikko Hirvonen, who was slowed by a broken windscreen on Saturday, took fourth to help Ford in their bid to retain their manufacturers' crown, with another Ford driver, Norwegian Henning Solberg, in fifth.
Sixth was Australian Chris Atkinson, who, along with Petter Solberg had demonstrated the pace of the Subarus across the event, with Jan Kopecky, of the Czech Republic, seventh in his privateer Skoda after pacing himself throughout.
Austria's Manfred Stohl completed the points scorers in eighth for Citroen.
The WRC now now takes a two-month summer break before the second half of the season gets under way in August in Gronholm's back yard with Rally Finland.
