what should have he done then? drove every stage 10 secs slower than Ogier?

There was a stone on the line which he couldnt avoid and i dont get it what this has to do with respecting the materials and other BS.
Did you see Ott onboards from yesterday? He cutting corners aggressively, this is was kind a push. And it was not relative to stagetimes sometimes. Mads can do the same and lost over a 1min cuz it's WRC2 car.
If you play smart and guessing that it maybe could be unavoidable stone on a line - u can't drive like in Finland from one edge to other. It's rocky road and you must wait for surprises
