Answer

Why is the driver shortage in Mallorca making the vehicle problem worse?

The situation is harder because more drivers may need a higher licence class, especially C1, to operate the affected vehicles. Mallorca already has a shortage of licensed drivers, so retraining and staffing take time. That creates extra pressure on both workshops and dispatch centres.
