Lappi fast. "Löysä Salonen" mode, I saw Hartusvuori mentioned. Does it mean he´s doing good but waves it away in psychical play to confuse Evans?

Neuville slipping down, difference to Lappi just 6,7 seconds. And Lappi can't slow down with Evans so close behind...

For the win it have been done from the start.

It's getting more interesting battle if Neuville is part of Lappi-Evans fight and there again - if Lappi wants to get 2nd place, he need to have Evans on 3rd.

Everyone show good pace and no big events happened so far. Neuville's puncture was kind of first event which causes time-loss in Rally1 field and even here we talk about max 6-8 seconds I guess.

Lappi vs Evans - after SS12 - the largest diff between them so far was after SS3 and it was 2.5sec.

Neuville
"On the jumps I could take more risks, but I don't know if I should."

He looked to be doing the biggest and most spectacular jumps already. Maybe this shows it's not the fastest way. One landing could also have led to the puncture. Also Kalle was much more controlled and tidy but faster.
