Or their drivers are too scared to push it ;)

Well Ogier has had a few test crashes with current Yaris as well (seemingly much more than with Fiesta or C3).

Anyway there should be some difference. The Rally1 cars are likely harder to control and push close to the edge. So definitely good move by FIA in making them more safe as there should be more crashes, especially at the start.

All crashes have happened on tarmac too. Well, Tänak's small off was on snow, but still tarmac road underneath.

Yes, I think he broke a driveshaft or differential.

All that damage to Neuville's car was from landing from 30m on its roof...
