What? How is FIA guilty of RB building a good car and signing the best driver? And I'm not saying that RB is the best car - take away Max and replace him with anyone and we would have an awesome series.
I would put a bit of blame also on (lack of) team principal.. Fourmaux should have driven on steady pace with nice gap to Ogier. Even Ogier just passing him wouldn't have been too much of a problem.
Not a disaster for Fourmaux really, if he can get back to service ok. Still in 3rd and out of the battle at the front which could have led to him pushing too hard anyway. Can concentrate on podium...
How can you drive steady with 13s gap and Ogier going flat out behind?
