indeed! problems after a too-heavy landing are part of the game (and quite usual btw).
does it imply a complete revision of a component? a public pillory of the producer?
we had 2 failures after 2 crashes in 2 races...not that much of an issue.
we had countless problems after heavy landings, with no inquisitions. who's fault? usually drivers!
looks like just a very good means to make people quarrel against innovation.
don't get fooled, manu's argument was just intended to get some advantages for the next race, that didn't happened effectively, just pr-wise.
in fact, after the 2min agreement, question settled and no more news. let's see if it reappears in the next rounds.

If it's 10km from the finish it should be the bump at 7:40 in SS5 Tänak loses hybrid?
I think they did a big mistake reducing the travel, makes no sense either.
I'm not going to any events before Finland unless it's fixed for sure, it kind of ruined the fun of Sweden for me."Die with memories, not with dreams" Scott McIsaac

How easy is it for CD to remove the battery on stage if they're going to have hybrid assistance spots? Or is this interfering with the politics of assistance and judging blame anyway? Sure if it's mechanical they are still out for the day but maybe they can just be delayed if it's simply the light.
Maybe instead of scratch+penalty, go with the median Rally1 time, or the average of your team mates.

Still no answers from CD and Tanak says "the hybrid unit is not meant for rallying"...
