    So the scratches was on the sidepanels then? Didn´t run over the rock? Or you saw scratches also underneath the car?
    No car survive rock like that driving over it I´d suppose.

    Last year car was also not that strong, they had few times situations that some hit from the bottom (to the sumpguard) made some damage.

    That´s impressing. They lifted the car just for you? Man, you rules. I saw that cliff also on WRC All Live.

    In the pre-event Portugal interview played on alllive they asked Lappi about the jump he did in Fafe in 2017. He mentioned something like "we can't do that with the car this year".

    I was really wondering what he meant at that time, but making the car a bit less robust for more speed might be the explanation.

    Or he just meant what he said already then- it was a bit over the limit and could`ve ended with a big crash.

    Was more like "we can't do that with the car we have this year". But couldn't find it in the preview now, so must have been alllive extended version which is not available any more.

    Ttere is actually very big difference on those rock hittings. In Portugal, this rock was on a very solid surface, surface that is almost like asphalt. In Sardegna, the place where Ogier hit that rock, I drove that stage, I even stepped out from the car near that place, I even digged hole near that place, this place is like sandbox, when something is on top of the sand and you hit it, then you do not hit it against wall, you just press it inside the sand, that is huge difference. On the the fragility of the car, I cannot comment, I am not that good on technical side.
