that one press release after Tanak's error was pretty poor and seemed like an answer form a guy, who was new to rallying (especially the time loss part)

Put something out thru WRC or DFish, that we found the problem and are on the way fixing it, making sure such thing won't happen in the future. Would give some positive image to that hybrid thing.
Disagree, that'll only remind average Joes who've forgotten that it failed in the past. Better than that is to have a clean Croatia, Portugal... as expected.

Otherwise the WRC will be open to ridicule.
Near end of the season maybe, two rounds into a 3 season cycle is too early for anyone to say the kit slurs the championship when pre-season was full of teething-problem chat. I'm not sure what you would be expecting to hear but usually when it's a gearbox or engine problem we all accept it at that. Finding out precisely what happened to Tanak's unit won't make any more sense of the two or ten minute penalty decision. That surrounds balancing safety requirements.

Could always try asking them?
