“It was a long right-hand tightening corner – a fast one – and the exit was full of mud. I started to understeer a little bit and I wanted to help the car with the handbrake but unfortunately it locked the front and I understeered more. I have no option but to go off the road.”
Volkswagen replaced the complete handbrake and differential lock system in service and are analysing whether or not the system was faulty.
Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala’s cars are fitted with the same type of system, which is known to be slow at releasing drive to the front wheels when the handbrake is pulled.
The third Polo R of Andreas Mikkelsen is fitted with a new, different system that is faster but unproven in competition.
Despite Ogier's desire to use the new system immediately, the team is unwilling to introduce it until they are happy with its reliability.

Neuville did the same choice. The rest of Ford drivers on hard tyres, same as Citroen.Quote:
