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?
