Forced to stop in the afternoon due to engine overheating, Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen will not start again tomorrow morning.

The engine of the Ford Focus RS WRC 09, who played his first here rally, is too damaged to return to the route of the specials.

It is the first time since the 2006 Rally Great Britain that Mikko Hirvonen has not finished a rally and the end of a record run of 22 consecutive rallies finishing in the points.
