    Do the crews have enough time to sort some of the issues out or is it just getting there and hoping for the best?

    1000000€ car stopped by 20€ part...

    Toyota (specially Lappi) very good so far.

    Toyota in a very good position! Now they need to be smart and keep pressure on Sordo and Ogier

    Quite decent times by some others after Ogier especially running on dirtier roads.

    May see a better reflection later when all are on similar conditions.

    Perhaps the Drivers Championship will be won by Ogier, but I'm now certain that the Manufacterers battle will be more fascinating than ever.

    There usually is quite some time between loss of alternator and complete emptying the battery? They don't have any warnings for things like that?

    Would not take to much space to have a small MC-type backup battery to get started in situations like this.
    I guess jumpstart is no good without any juice?

    And they didnt wanted to return to WRC in 2012, they were happy in IRC. But FIA and mainly Jean Todt pushed to them that if they will not return to WRC, they will take them out organisation of formula 1 event...
