No Super Rally for Sordo and Fourmaux.
Would be a bit of a pity for Sordo to end his career like this.
And not a good news for Fourmaux considering the situation; well, even if Sordo also doing the mistake gives him a bit of comparison, clearly a bad stuff to end as soon as the first real stage.

Formaux is just a driving disaster. He got a new chance after binning it regulalry, and now he crashes on a first proper stage.

We woud need to do some pretty complex math but heating the windscreen to 50+ °C at cold weather and high speeds definitely requires a lot of power because the windscreen is actively cooled from the outside with very high efficiency. I can't compute that myself but it's definitely several kilowatts. That doesn't mean only that you need a source to deliver such power but you also need to have thick enough wires in the glass. My very rough estimation is around 5 kW in situations like here in Japan. That is 10x more than what standard road car heated screens are capable of. You also need 3-4x thicker (and much better visible) wires.
I'm also not sure whether there wouldn't be a risk of cracking the glass from temperature shocks combined with mechanical shocks and vibrations.
For sure if it had a simple solution no team would have problems.Last edited by Mirek; 17th November 2023 at 16:07.

Well pressure builds cracks and this time Max got it wrong. To be fair between Max being clearly unhappy and Sergio being out in Q1, it's clear the RB was hard to get set up well for the track. ...
