The avg. speed of the last stage was 30 km/h faster than the stage before.

It's air cooling after all

drivers complaining

FRI 12:36 - SS4: LAPPI
Fourth quickest so far and Lappi reports similar problems to Latvala. What about Tanak? "He seems to be able to drive around the issue."

FRI 12:33 - SS4: LATVALA
Latvala quickest so far, despite ongoing engine issues. "Overheating - particularly on the uphill sections. We have to switch to road mode to keep the temperature down."

1) This doesn't mean they had major overheating issues in that particular stage.

2)
Timeloss/km
SS3/SS4
Tanak 0.48/0.2 (-0.28)
Latvala 1.13/0.52 (-0.61)
Lappi 1.4/0.78 (-0.62)

When they went to the onboard, I could hear Ott or Martin say something like "stage on, now!". So I take that to mean that they were switching back and forth between stage mode and road mode to try to cool down.

Lets double back for the troll's sake, cause it seems he can't follow his own arguments.

All 3 Yaris had much better stage times in SS4 than all morning. Q.E.D.

so you dont know if all yaris had engine overheat problems. Thats the answer you had to give at my question.
answer is not that ''they are faster vs previous stages''.
