Ott Tänak (Toyota) n’a pas diminué son rythme en abordant la deuxième étape du Rally de Finlande. L’Estonien a signé le scratch dans les 23,92km de Päijälä, la plus longue ES de l’épreuve, avec un temps de 11’36’’4 où il a repris plus de 8 secondes sur Mads Ostberg (Citroën) et Jari-Matti Latvala (Toyota). Esapekka Lappi (Toyota) a suivi à 11 secondes en reprenant plus de 6 secondes à Elfyn Evans (M-Sport) et une dizaine de secondes à Sébastien Ogier (M-Sport). Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) a encore perdu plus de 24 secondes sur la tête de la course.
Andreas Mikkelsen (Hyundai) will have to open the road on the remaining 7 special stages after the retirement of Khalid Al Qassimi (Citroën) who tore off the right rear wheel of his C3 WRC passing through a ditch shortly after the start.
Updates: Around 1.7Km into SS12 @RallyFinland, @khalidbinfaisal went a bit too fast into a left-hander and ran deep into the corner and the car spun around. Both Al Qassimi and @CPattersonrally are OK
It's a retirement for the day.#AbuDhabiRacing #WRC #WRClive pic.twitter.com/IHkjSWNlTc— Abu Dhabi Racing (@AbuDhabiRacing1) July 28, 2018
