RALLYING: Five-time world champion Sebastien Loeb was stripped of victory and relegated to second place in the Rally of Australia yesterday because of a technical infringement with his Citroen car.
The decision meant Ford's Mikko Hirvonen, who had been 12.5 seconds behind Loeb, was declared the winner with the Finn stretching his championship lead to five points with two rounds remaining.
Stewards for the governing body FIA found that the front anti-roll bar link on Loeb's car did not conform to regulations and penalised him one minute.
