But maybe he meant himself with Latvala and Meeke testing before him.

Latvala and Anttila are back in Finland, so they will not drive this week.

Team Toyota could have stopped to TMR/TGR Estonia or TMG Germany on their way to south. Only thing I know 100% sure is that Saturday they were going to south

Actually they probably were heading to FIA Prize Giving which has nothing to do with testing, so off topic.

Anyone notice the massively high rake or height in general of the wing spoiler at the back from 1:00 onward

I noticed the same... Not sure if it was intentional?? I know the the rules state specific dimensions for the spoiler...

It's probably just a quick way for them to test the car with more rear downforce, and if it is better they can set about making the parts correctly to fit the rules.

does not bode well... if lack of downforce is the complaint, its a MAJOR wind tunnel job generate that amount of downforce within the rules.
