The 27-year-old, who has been with Ford for five years and was the world championship runner-up in 2010, will join French driver Sebastien Ogier at Volkswagen. "It wasn't easy for me to say goodbye. At the same time, I see the change as a personal new beginning,"Cheap Nike Air Max said the Finn in a statement. Ford announced on Monday that they were withdrawing works support from the world rally championship from next season. Latvala and co-driver Mikka Antila are third overall in the standings with France's Sebastien Loeb having already clinched his ninth title in a row for Citroen. Loeb will not be defending his championship next year. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin in London; Editing by Clare Fallon) Motor Sports
