Tanak’s tire strategy played a crucial role in maintaining his advantage throughout the day. Thierry Neuville secured third place, but had a few hairy moments. Meanwhile, Elfyn Evans slipped from second to fourth due to a tire strategy mistake by Toyota. Kalle Rovanpera, the championship leader, suffered similar setbacks, ending the day in fifth place. A more conservative approach was taken in the afternoon stages, with the leading teams opting for hard compound tires.
