I Norway everyone know who Petter and Henning Solberg is, most people also know about Oliver Solberg
Maybe 30% know Mads Østberg and Andreas Mikkelsen?
I think most people don't know who foreign drivers is, exept colin mcrae of course
Recently Veiby became very well known in Czech Republic but instead of his performance it's because of his stupid instagram stunt. It got into all major media and at some it even topped the most read article of the month...
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?
