they have small hammers with metal points to break the windows... it is almost standard safety equipment in every rally car.

Actually, FIA safety regs only require a seatbelt cutter - the small hammer is not mandatory. A small hammer is no use either because for group N and R where the side windows are glass, you have to apply a safety film. As for groups R4, R5 and WRC, the side windows are mostly polycarbonate.
