    I believe it's routine that FIA investigates any crash that leads to injury. The other claim I find hard to believe.

    On that picture I wonder why the A-pillar is snapped though.

    I believe the A-pillar was cut by the rescue personnel. There was a Kenya Quest TV reporter who filmed everything from the accident occurring until the evacuation helicopter departed. Watching his video I saw one official carrying 'the jaws of life' towards the car.

Dust could also be a big issue. I'm ready to put my money on Ogier's win.
    And how much did you win?

    Also scored most stage wins, so it wasn’t just sitting

    Shouldn´t be a problem if they x-ray all parts. Don´t think they straighten up a bent part and reuse it...

    Meaning they certainly could reuse old parts if they fullfill demands.

    I think thats bogus. Why would they reuse parts that have a tendency to break every god damn rally?
