The Finn regained almost 3 seconds from Ott Tänak (Toyota). Andreas Mikkelsen (Hyundai) a suivi à plus de 4 secondes devant Elfyn Evans (M-Sport) à plus de 7 secondes.
Sébastien Loeb (Hyundai) failed 11 seconds from the benchmark by half a second ahead of his teammate Thierry Neuville. M-Sport drivers Pontus Tidemand and Teemu Suninen finished 13 seconds behind Kris Meeke (Toyota). The leader of the event was disturbed by a shaky headlight strip.
