"We currently have the three best rally drivers in the world on our books,” said Jost Capito, head of Volkswagen Motorsport.

"Continuity is an important factor in any success in motorsport, and I am delighted to have been able to extend our cooperation with Sebastien Ogier, Jari-Matti Latvala and Andreas Mikkelsen”.

"Renewing the contract with Volkswagen is a completely logical step," said Sebastien Ogier.

"The best team with the best car - there was no reason for me and [co-driver] Julien [Ingrassia] to want anything but what is far and away the best opportunity to battle for wins and world championship titles.

"I am very pleased that we will continue to work with this team, in which we feel so comfortable and with whom we have enjoyed our greatest successes."
