Sebastien Ogier secured a surprising victory at WRC Rally Finland when his teammate Kalle Rovanpera rolled out on the penultimate stage while leading the race with a significant advantage. Rovanpera’s crash dashed Finland’s hope of a home winner after holding the lead for almost the entire race, leaving Ogier to claim his 61st WRC victory. The unexpected turn of events also affected the championship standings, propelling Ogier to second place and granting Thierry Neuville a more substantial lead in the title race. Adrien Fourmaux finished on the podium with a well-judged drive, securing his fourth podium of the season. Sami Pajari impressed on his Rally1 class debut with a strong finish despite a rocky start in his home rally.
