Indeed. He said it was easily done so why is it not on the car now ?
A reminder from today of the importance of noise to the spectacle of rallying:

Toyota managed pretty well with getting their brand new Yaris WRC designed, built & tested ready for Monte 2017...

This makes me sad (also because I worked in automotive for ten years and this is a common management approach in there). Yes, the engineers mostly can do their job in shorter time than they want BUT they are human. They need some private life and some rest as well. This is the best way to make them leave soon for some less stressful job. I know that motorsport work is stressful from its very principle but there is no need to add extra stress just because someone can not decide in time.

and don't forget that Matton, who keeps claiming that he knows what he is talking of as the former Citroen Racing manager (i) Got the team from top dog to bottom feeder (then extinction) (ii) a team that took 2+ years to develop / launch the C3 while running only a few events (and the car was an utter failure out of the box)
i don't know what credibility can he get from that track record to make such assumptions ...
