LEON (Mexico) AFP: World champion Sebastien Ogier built up a commanding lead in the Rally of Mexico on Saturday, winning five of the day's special stages and finishing second in the remaining two.

Ogier took his Volkswagen into the day with a slender 26-second advantage over Nowegian Mads Ostberg, but Ostberg's involvement came to an abrupt end when he suffered a broken suspension in his Citroen.
