By the way, have you noticed that cases where roll cage damage prevents restart has gone up lately? Are roll cages more fragile, are accidents more demanding for roll cages or, which I think, has FIA stepped up the scrutineering of roll cages after accidents?

I think that last motiv :)

Because of the balance, on gravel they're screwed only 1st day, on tarnac it must be the opposite - all other days.

Ogier cant re-start.. no PS points for him.

Yes, that is correct. Latvala is on a brilliant form. In Finland he was really in a league of his own, and he contioues to be really, really fast here in Germany.
In Your attempt to talk his driving abilites down, and give all credit to the car, I think that You forget that Latvala, also in the past, has set some incredible times on tarmac when it has been variable grip conditions (in a Ford BTW). But he has had (and will have in the future) a difficulty in risk management. If You question Latvalas speed when he is on form, I think You are on the wrong path if Your aim is to unlock the secret of why some drivers are faster than others at certain times.

I see only Ogier's car on wrc+ live maps, is that normal?

EDIT: oh. it's SS12, I guess it is all wrong
