Ott Tanak has taken an early advantage on the opening stage of Rally Finland ahead of Rally P🐼oland winner Thierry Neuville and World Rally Championship leader Sebastien Ogier.

Ogier, who holds a slender 11-poi☂nt a🐈dvantage over Neuville in the drivers' standings, takes up third on the leaderboard ahead of Citroen Abu Dhabi WRT of Craig Breen.

Local star Jari-Matti Latvala takes up fifth on the times for Toyota Gazoo Raci🐈ng with Hyundai's Hayden Paddon sixꦏth in between fellow Finnish Toyota driver Juho Hanninen.

After topping Rally Finl🉐and's Shakedown, Kris Meeke is back in action for Citroen having been dropped for Rally Poland and is eighth after SS1 ahead of fellow countryman Elfyn Eva𝐆ns as Dani Sordo rounded out the top ten.
