It sounds on the commentators like the only reason for Teemu not being in the top is that he lost a splitter on Friday morning. Pretty sure there's bigger reasons for the lack of speed..

Neuville with damaged suspension...

Neverthless he surely gets faster. This afternoon has not been bad.

But it's one of the main issues with Finland, if you are a bit behind on Friday you get stuck roadcleaning (for 2 days) and it's basically over.

Now it was 186 against 192 km/h on the same straight for Mikkelsen and Tänak.

Check how Tanak gained 0.5s in the last split which was basically just flat out with no braking.

Lappi's still going for it !

Seems like we'll have a real fight between Mikkelsen and ogier.

Good time by Mikkelsen showing that in big push mode - car can be fast. And seem clear Adamo idea: Andreas trying keep Ogier behind even if he might crash. As backup he has Breen who was swapped with Neuville anyway
