Toyota drivers in control after opening day of action in Chile
Elfyn Evans snatched the Rally Chile lead from Toyota World Rally Championship team-mate Sebastien Ogier after the Frenchman was forced to change a wheel on stage three. Evans delivered strong pace throughout the morning's gravel stages to head to midday service with a 2.2s lead over Toyota team-mate and reigning world champion Kalle Rovanpera. Toyota protege Sami Pajari climbed to third .
The eight-time world champion once again refused to offer much in terms of comments at the stage-end. Tanak seemingly followed Ogier's stage-end comment protest although the Estonian was the quickest of the Hyundais, 4.1s shy of the pace, but ahead of the M-Sport duo of Fourmaux and Munster. Lappi struggled to make the most of his advantageous road position with the Finn 6.6s adrift. He was however faster than Neuville, who felt the cleaning effect was much worse than the previous test.
