The world champion leads on home soil, with 9.7s covering the top four
World rally champion Kalle Rovanpera snatched the Rally Finland lead from Toyota team-mate Elfyn Evans at the end of an eventful Friday morning that included a crash for Ott Tanak. Rovanpera headed to midday service with a 0.2s margin over Evans, who had impressed in difficult wet conditions in his bid for a first win of 2024. Toyota's Sebastien Ogier briefly held the rally lead after stage two, but returned to service 3.0s adrift in third.
Tanak and co-driver Martin Jarveoja exited the car, before the latter was taken to hospital for precautionary checks. Once action resumed, Rovanpera clocked the fastest time on the slick gravel, which was enough to snatch the overall rally lead. He was 0.4s quicker than Evans, with Lappi third ensuring three cars were split by less than a second.
