Nem állt meg alatta a gép, és valószínűleg az autó nem is sérült, csak 25 percig tartott kiásni a hóból. (Ha hihetünk a wrc.com-nak.)
Raikkonen's problems occurred later in the stage, just a couple of kilometres before the finish, when he drove his Citroen Junior Team C4 WRC into a snow bank and got stuck. Like Gronholm he eventually managed to get going again, but the incident meant he completed the stage more than 26 minutes slower than Latvala. The Finn, who was 10th overall on SS5, dropped out of the top 30.
