I heard that they are warming up the brakes not to make them work but to keep them warm and to keep the whole wheel warm which helps retain the heat in the tires longer.
It makes sense because the time from Time Control to Start is 3 minutes.
The problem is that they don't make the decision soon enough, or even have it in the plan before the race. The guy behind who's just come out on fresh tyres & is 2 seconds a lap faster needs the call...
What oother options do Hyundai have, if Tanak will really leave for Toyota? Will they hire again Mikkelsen, Lappi, Sordo? Or reach out for WRC2 field? Or even stay only with two cars?
