RS67 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

So the front "fails"(Jake being Matted isn't a fail) were all Motorbase - which suggests they pushed too far. Andy Neate was that little bit slower, so maybe the tyres on his car weren't worked quite so hard.
Neate wasn't carrying ballast. The failures seemed to coincide with heavier ballast. After Rory's R1 puncture it was reported that Goodyear/Motorbase were examining the tyre, later in the day Motorbase announced they felt it was due to a stone or other debris. Ollie has a completely different driving style to Rory and requires the car to be set up differently, so would two different set ups result in punctures?
