After having seen the off - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT6XyGndD_M and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJA723adBGA - it's amazing that Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Antilla walked away from that. The safety cage inside a modern rally car is an amazing thing.

Not to be mawkish or anything, but if that had been a Group B car from the mid 80s, they'd have been goners. Crushed, or burnt to death like Latvala's hero Henri Toivonen. And Latvala will know that, for sure.

I watched the coverage on Dave (yes, I know) and they had a quick 'are you okay?' with him right after he rolled it... He was actually as white as a sheet. Seriously, I didn't think it was possible for him to get any paler (given that he's practically transparent). That must have been the grimmest birthday ever. Let's hope that everything goes much better in Argentina.
