Elfyn Evans (M-Sport) est parti en tonneau dans l’ES4 du Rally from Mexico, the 17,23km of Ortega. The Welshman lost control of his Ford Fiesta WRC on a compression and rolled over at high speed. Despite the damage, the Englishman was able to restart to limit his delay to less than three minutes.
Dani Sordo (Hyundai) a encore été le plus rapide. L’Espagnol a bouclé le parcours en 9’33 »2 en devançant Sébastien Loeb (Citroën), its closest rival, by almost two seconds. Ott Tänak (Toyota) a suivi à plus de trois secondes en précédant Kris Meeke (Citroën) qui a lâché 5 »6 au leader de l’épreuve. Le Nord-Irlandais a terminé devant Andreas Mikkelsen (Hyundai). Jari-Matti Latvala (Toyota) a suivi à près de neuf secondes du scratch alors qu’il a dû activer pendant un moment le mode « liaison » pour limiter la surchauffe de son moteur. Le Finlandais a précédé Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) and Sébastien Ogier (M-Sport) handicapped by their opening position. Esapekka Lappi (Toyota) still lacks pace and loses even more than 13 seconds on the lead of the race.
Dani Sordo now has more than 15 seconds ahead of Kris Meeke. Sébastien Loeb climbs onto the provisional podium three seconds behind his teammate. Ott Tänak follows in fourth place ahead of Sébastien Ogier and Andreas Mikkelsen. Thierry Neuville finds himself seventh ahead of the Finns Jari-Matti Latvala, Teemu Suninen and Esapekka Lappi who complete the top ten.
