Huttunen just passed Camilli and took a lot of time from Veiby as well.

You are right that the bent driveshaft is the best give away but there is also clearly visible massive crack in the body panel upon the wheel arc (from rear light to the side rear window). It was clear side impact directly on the wheel.

yes its visible the damage at panel upon the wheel.

Local rally radio says official FIA doctor gave Ingrassia a 15 day ban to compete. They tried, because I think Ogier drove the car this morning but immediately retired it.

In agreement with the organisers and the crew, M-Sport checked the repaired Ford out of parc ferme on Saturday morning. Ogier and Ingrassia drove it into service, where it remains.
Ingrassia will return to hospital for further tests later on Saturday.
Keeping the car officially in the rally gives Ogier and Ingrassia the possibility of restarting on Sunday to fight for powerstage points, subject to Ingrassia's condition and the outcome of the new tests.
M-Sport's Rich Millener added: "In conjunction with the organisers, we feel the sensible thing is to do the formalities with the car, keep it in the rally to have further time for Julien to recover if he's not feeling well.
"We'll make a decision later on where we go with it. We have no plan in place at the moment, we'll see how the day develops and go from there."

Sat 09:50 - Stage info: SS15
Päijälä 1, 22.68km. Mikko Hirvonen refers to this stage as ‘the little brother of Ouninpohja’. It’s an awesome test with crests, jumps and technical sections on wide and blisteringly fast roads. Run in the opposite direction to 2016, the opening 4km are slightly more technical, with trees and stones right next to the road, but the rest of the stage is full rollercoaster. Finland at its best.

Enjoying the morning stages but unfortunately couldn’t avoid a rock the size of a football in middle of the road… broken suspension again

Tbh after 2 stages I'd say we have an answer to Latvala vs Lappi with similar starting position.
Also consider that Lappi vs Sunninen is about same as yesterday.
Not like it's surprising. Lappi is still doing a very good job.
