Jari-Matti Latvala vince la sua prima prova speciale e si avvicina al leader della classifica provvisoria Petter Solberg. Latvala fa sperare ancora il suo team, il BP Ford Abu Dhabi, dopo il ritiro del compagno di squadra portando il distacco da Petter Solberg ad appena 0.1 secondi. Sebastien Loeb continua a perdere posizioni, scende infatti in sesta posizione. Il pilota francese ha dichiarato di aver guidato bene, ma di esser stato svantaggiato dall’aver corso per primo. Khalid Al Qassimi si ritira per un cappottamento al chilometro 23.2 della speciale, esattamente dove Solberg ebbe un incidente con la sua Ford Focus WRC nel 2000. Viene assegnata una penalità di 10 secondi a Raikkonen che comunque resta nei primi 10 in classifica.
