Does anyone have any insight on whether the switch to Pirelli will have an impact on the competitive order? Suit some more than others? I might be doing Pirelli a disservice, but I can’t help feel we might see more punctures.

imho pirelli always had durable tyres at wrc,but for sure a different tyre from michelin will require different settings and fine tuning for the cars.
Lets see which team will find them faster.
Rovanpera drove only at snow/slush at tests? didnt saw any video on tarmac?

Loubet is using some pretty weird hybrid aero config there:
- post Estonia 2020 front aero (but older that the one tested by main team a week ago)
- pre Monte 2020 diffuser ( last used in 2019 by main team)
- pre Monte 2020 roof vent
- old fills in rear side skirts/wheel archers)
- old rear wing (think it was also updated a year ago)
I get that they might have some spare parts to use and that understeer has been biggest problem historically. But still think it's strange that they run a config that was never seen in filmed tests or used in a rally before.
Also wonder how this works with rules.
Will be interesting to see what config he uses in the rally itself.
It seems they have been receiving feedback not to be so boring and ask something controversial.
