D’you think the pilots had a conversation like James May and Kris Meeke during the rallycross ep of Top Gear?
“If it goes wrong and we have a crash who says sorry first?” - James May
“First thing I’ll do is check your pulse to see if you’re still living and then I’ll ask you to apologize.” - Kris Meeke

Nah, any halfway competent pit crew can rebuild that overnight. They’ll be back in contention by Special Stage WWIII, as long as the supplies of grey duct tape hold out.
