Overnight attention stayed off Helsinki, where the fairway closed after a strange find halted ferry traffic. By morning police released a photo, boaters described seeing it first, and authorities assessed it as likely part of a very old wreck, possibly a rare find.
By midday live coverage switched to Sardinia for the rally championship decider. Elfyn Evans suffered a puncture, then Oliver Solberg went off in the final corner of the last stage, handing Evans the title and prompting analysis of Sami Pajari's defeat.
Evening coverage fragmented into domestic security politics, with reports that Finns Party campaigners stayed in their bus in Helsinki, parliament weighing protection for lawmakers' homes after the break-in affair, and Stubb quoted warning a NATO ally about Russia.
