There's nothing wrong about it, and hardly someone is surprised. The real question is "why Toyota is trying to hide it?". They surely know his crashing abilities, so why did they even engaged him, be it even for 1 year?

I feel that if someone ca cool down Meeke, and make him perform till the finish lime, it is Tommi M. It looks like it is a relaxed atmosphere in the team.
Meeke need some sauna and beer, and cool baths in cold Finish lakes!
Honestly, the problem is not even Toyota supposedly trying to hide it (that’s a common and understandable procedure when these things happen), it’s more the way people in the social media are eagerly saying Amen to the fake photo allegation, promptly accusing those who do believe it’s not fake of being Meeke haters…
They try to hide it because it happened so soon. If that happens in like 3 months from now on it wouldn't matter much.
Hello, Meeke fan here. I actually don't believe it is fake.
Having looked at the photos, there clearly is damage on the roof of the car, across the centre probably above the roll cage where the dents can't easily be knocked out. Also looks like a little damage on the drivers side a pillar.
I disagree about the windscreen being replaced though, looks to me like the top section where allive sticker is has just been covered with black duct tape.
Where do you guys see the number there? They never run test cars with numbers on it. And Toyota’s numbers are orange.
