Well I pointed this apparent disagreement already in December when Meeke was signed and in the press release said that his main goal is to help Toyota win manu championship yet in an interview just a few days later he said something else. Now he talks about driver championship...
How "soon" you should start prioritizing drivers for points is a good question.
M-Sport did it already on 2nd rally last year and it did matter in the end. (2-3 more points to Neuville and he wouldn't need to push to try to finish ahead of Ogier in Australia). But some of M-Sport prioritizing looked slightly retarded and pointless (dropping Evans and Suninen two times in Finland so that Ogier drives 5th instead of 4th on the road for example). As a result Neuville was very vocal about this before start of this season and Hyundai also started prioritizing very early (Mikkelsen didn't push on PS in Sweden where he took points off Neuville the year before and was much faster on the first run this year)).
Toyota is clearly not prioritizing and it already cost them 2 points for Tanak, though only one of them (Mexico) made a difference relative to Ogier. I am not saying they should or should not, just stating what is happening.

yes they can change parts with same setup as previous sets.
all racings parts have a ''safe life'' of use.
Changing earlier parts,you dismiss this very small percentage that something can go wrong.even inside this safe period of use.

Rally Croatia is a must. It’s a fantastic event. Not only in real life but it’s also my favorites in the new WRC game. The stages are so much fun to play
