    How is this possible right now?
    Had all the components installed in the car not already been inspected and approved by the FIA?

    So, are they allowed to fix it? Can they fix it, or this is disqualification for them?

    It should not be possible, because the FIA was visiting Puuppola HQ and inspected all the things...

    No, they are not. FIA have provided the measurement values, and each car is checked upon each event for compliance. At least that's my understanding.
    Based on their history, It will be bad for Toyota if they exceed the allowed measurements.

    More than funny. He suddenly appear, express surprise that Ogier is in ford (= have clearly not followed rally news for a while) and then goes to hate on Msport in every single post including hilarious statements that Toyota and Msport are on equal level, something he couldn't possibly know.

    Nooooo. I know Toyota are better. I have my own sources. That's why they are trying tho disqualify them, so Ford are not slammed right from the beginning. How funny is that sounds?

    Chill, sit back, relax and enjoy the uncertainty of the new season.

    ... Also try not to let your personal views get your facts all muddled up.
