It is probably too early to conclude, but I did not like how easy the doors came off the Puma in the slide crasch in Monte.
Maybe they need to have a look at the strength of the locks and hinges, to protect the crew better.

Expressed that view elsewhere and got accused of being alarmist however I too have concerns about the doors and possible intrusion into the safety cell. Even if the doors were to be fitted with retaining straps they could flail around and cause serious injury on the rebound. With so little of the car being steel it may be a problem. Spaceframes on the race circuit are less of an issue as little in the way of trees or other landscape entering the car if panels fly off.

Compact Dyamics to investigate the hybrid issue with Tanak's car in Sweden:
https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/compa...ybrid-failure/
"It was too early to identify what had gone wrong, with post-failure analysis requiring the unit fitted to Tänak’s car to be returned to Compact Dynamics’ headquarters for further inspection.
“We have to wait for what is the result of the evaluation together with the FIA. We are working hard on that," they told DirtFish.

How many 1000s of kilometer have the Hybrid unit been tested in a rallycar, with top drivers and at top speeds?

"I can only apologize and hope that he will restart well and will gain time again as much as he can.”
Indeed. "Sorry, our experimental box cocked up a bit. Have a nice rally 2 and try to gain some time back."

is the msport so slow because of the more long straight and less battery use in Sweden? or just because the all three drivers not good at driving on snow?

They are sorry for Tanak but that doesnt mean they are taking the blame yet...
'There could be, let’s say, several different root causes, starting with the reason being in the car or the overall control unit of the car – or the reason is somewhere in the hybrid system.'

Hyundai and Toyota have urged the FIA to update sporting regulations to prevent cars being forced to retire from rallies due to problems with hybrid units.

Tänak's case made me think that notional times should be given in case the driver has to stop only because of the hybrid unit. But it's difficult to draw the line, if you drive the car into a tree and get red light because of that, does that allow notional times being used?
