Bakkerud is always moaning about how newcomers are 'ruining the history of the sport' - such nonsense. Smashing into each other is not 'the history of the sport.
Bakkerud treats World RX like bumper cars, and everyone in the paddock knows it. There's a whole group of them - Block, Hansen, Timerzyanov - who just ram into people and don't bother to take corners.
Drivers like Loeb and Ekstrom are fair, and have every reason to be frustrated when people punt them off. If they can succeed and overtake without hitting people then others should do the same!
As for Solberg hitting Bakkerud into the wall -nonsense! Bakkerud, as always, just pulled across before getting past and hit Petter on the nose. It's a racing incident, but more blame on Andreas than Petter or Ekstrom!
