There's a line between making it hard to pass and doing what Max did. Max can make it hard to pass by taking a wider arc and maintaining more speed, and I dare say, this would have been the most likely move to succeed. Other drivers like Leclerc know this instinctively but Max appears to have an I'll give them as little legal room as possible attitude. This is what we mean by him being uncompromising. Being tough on your opponents is not the same as being smart.
Legally, by the way, neither driver technically did anything wrong but both could have used better judgement.
It's easy when you only have 37 cars in the rally. Harder to quickly repeat stages when you have 80 cars like most events.....
