SYDNEY -- Andreas Mikkelsen held off Sebastien Ogier to win the Rally of Australia by 14.9 seconds on Sunday, giving Volkswagen a victory in its final race in the World Rally Championship.Norways Mikkelsen started the final day of the rally with a narrow two-second lead over his Volkswagen teammate, who was recently crowned the world drivers champion for the fourth straight year.Ogier closed the gap to just 0.3 seconds at the midpoint of the dusty Bucca stage, the second of five stages on the final day. But the Frenchman then spun his Volkswagon Rolo R near the finish and completed the stage 19.6 seconds slower than Mikkelsen, giving the Norwegian a commanding overall lead.Mikkelsen began the rally in third place in the drivers standings behind Ogier and Belgiums Thierry Neuville, hoping a win would lift him into second place and give Volkswagen its fourth consecutive one-two finish in its final championship. The company has said it will not compete in WRC again after this season.But Neuville, driving a Hyundai, finished the race in third place, ensuring hed remain in second overall in the drivers standings.The plan was to try and win the power stage because I would like to try and beat Thierry for that second place, but Im still happy about this, Mikkelsen said. Its been such a perfect end to the season ... Its just sad to see this team and the car come to an end. I will miss them.Ogier and Mikkelsen now find themselves looking for new cars for next season, likely putting pressure on drivers on other teams.Mikkelsen dominated Volkswagons final rally, leading after all but one stage and overcoming a bizarre incident on the second day when his clutch and brake pedal became wedged together.The race was also delayed on the 21st stage for almost a half hour when Eric Camilli rolled his Ford onto its roof, causing a fire to break out in the car. He retired from the stage but appeared unhurt.
