Belgium's Thierry Neuville won his first World Rally Championship title at the age of 36 on Sunday after championship rival Ott Tanak crashed out at the season-ending Rally Japan.
Tanak went off the road near the end of the opening stage on the final day, meaning he could not catch championship leader Neuville in the overall standings.
Neuville went into the rally with a 25-point lead over his Hyundai teammate Tanak, the 2019 world champion.
