Incidentally, I was surprised to see spectators so close to some of those jumps in Poland. Many were on low-lying flat ground seemingly unprotected by any trees or barriers. It doesn't take much imagination to realise what could happen... especially as aero seems to fall off some cars fairly easily.

Yeah criticising drivers when the car is a step or two down from Hyundai, Toyota and Ford is not going to help, although some drivers do respond better with a kick up the jacksie. But at the same time scapegoating drivers for doing their best with a difficult car only makes things worse
And it seems the FIA agrees with you on the second point, as it now seems Poland could lose WRC status
