Things are heating up, Neuville has brake problem and Fourmaux is breathing at his neck.

Virves seems to lost some pace compared to yesterday. Latvala and Korhonen are clearly faster today, Linnamäe as well.

So no wipers, affected Oliver heavily?

FIA Rally officials could learn from even the US/ Mexican etc desert racers. The road side 'pit stop' service crews often put a road cone on the desert race truck, buggy bonnet while the vehicle is stopped & serviced/ refueled and race vehicle crew change-overs in long races. The driver only moves off after a service crew member removes the road cone.

6 different stage winners so far, Evans and Ogier are not part of them.

Completely makes sense. It is complicated for a driver to have an overview of what is going on around the car, especially when someone is checking tires or are low for any other reason. This is already by default. Let's add to the list a really muddy car and missing mirrors; it is an impossible task.

I'm not sure how it works at the moment, based on some hand signals and those were ignored by Tänak?

M-Sport struggles with misted windscreens.

Very heavy rain at service park

Why didn't Sesks stop earlier to clear the windscreen?

I think they did not find a good/safe spot to stay, and if you can not see out at all, it makes finding one more complicated.
