It's an impossible compromise, isn't it?
At one time it was important for the driver to get out if the car burst into flames. Those days are thankfully gone, so some form of windshield is now more viable (and even desirable, considering what happened to Massa). But if it means an end to racing in the rain, no thanks!
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
