Sébastien Ogier (Citroën) lost around 25 seconds in the 6km Fernet Branca super special, being slowed down by the loss of his power steering which suffered on the previous route of the Rally Argentina. Kris Meeke (Toyota) also lost seconds by handfuls suffering from a loose wheel, his spare wheel also being damaged.
Andreas Mikkelsen (Hyundai) took the scratch 6 tenths ahead of his teammate Dani Sordo. Jari-Matti Latvala (Toyota) followed a second ahead of Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) who was able to take a second from Ott Tänak (Toyota).
