a reason for broken valves can be also from ''soft'' valve springs.
They try to use soft springs for less losses .How soft you can go is a compromise between less losses and precision valve drive at high rpms.
Soft valve springs (softer than ideal I would say) drives to valve float at high rpms,and that's can be dangerous for engine durability.
Of course the reason can be also and a bad quality batch of valve springs.

Correct. And Latvala might be right also in a sense that Tänak didn't talk to him as he isn't deciding driver line-ups.
