Leader Grönholm extends Ford's advantage in Monte Carlo

BP-Ford World Rally Team drivers Marcus Grönholm and Timo Rautiainen extended their lead in the Rallye Monte Carlo during today's second leg in the French Alps. Ice and slushy snow on the winding mountain roads once again made conditions treacherous, but Ford's Finns controlled their pace throughout the day to return to Monaco this evening with a 2min 05.9sec advantage in their Ford Focus RS World Rally Car.
