The World Rally Championship is currently underway in Italy, where the final round of the season will decide the world champion on Sunday.

Oliver Solberg was in third place after Friday's special stages, but on Saturday he picked up the pace. After winning two of the three stages he drove, he took the lead in the rally.

Championship leader, Briton Elfyn Evans, is in sixth place overall. If the standings hold, there will be a four-point gap between the drivers in the overall standings heading into Sunday, when ten points are at stake.

If I can win the rally, I think it is very possible to win the World Championship, Solberg says in TV4's broadcast.

The next leg, the fourth of six on Saturday, begins at 2:30 p.m.
