Sebastien Ogier continues to lead RallyeMonteCarlo despite encountering hybrid issues on Friday morning, while Toyota teammate Elfyn Evans dropped time due to a puncture. Full WRC report:
Photo by: McKlein /Ogier picked up from where he left off on Thursday night. The Frenchman was again the man to beat as the field faced the first daylight stages of the rally. Road conditions remained dry although there was snow on the hillsides as temperatures hovered below freezing.
It was Toyota team-mate Evans that once again emerged as Ogier’s nearest rival, but the Welshman dropped 3.2s, which allowed Ogier to extend his overall lead. Ogier’s perfect start continued on Stage 4 but he was made to work hard for his stage win. A hybrid issue meant his GR Yaris was not at its fastest but it was still quick enough to log a benchmark time, 2.1s faster than the chasing Evans.
Rovanpera’s own run through the 14.55km test was far from ideal after clouting a barrier with the right-rear of his GR Yaris following a wild slide at a left hander.
