mikkelsen off. Steam from cooler, hit poles. End of the day for Mikkelsen.

Edit: Stage red flagged. Half of stage is blocked by front of the car.

Gotta love these near winter conditions, definitely need more rallies in this time of year. Also, Mikkelsen showing why he’s not going to get a seat in 2025, if Lancia or Skoda were in the championship maybe, but even then, why not invest in the youngsters or try and steal Pajari or Fourmaux.

So, does anybody know... What do we have in the way of lunchtime service, and can it fix a hybrid?

technically u can't repair it.
they can reset it and see if it gets going (most of the time works), or change it, but there's no service today, so no change.

I thought there was a remote service? Or is it just a tyre fitting zone?

Remote service after the next stage but they are limited in what they can do in the car.

Yes, probably a safety feature. An automatic disconnection in case of accident to avoid a fire or a hazardous electric discharge, I believe. Just think the mediatic impact of such a catastrophic event. I think they are playing on the safe side, with plenty of margins, to avoid bad publicity, and potential impact into manufacturers.

Probably root cause here, yes.
