I think second one still applies. You may win the power stage but you still need to finish the rally. But the first one is a waiver, like many other exceptions (no super special in Corsica, Thursday stages in Monte, same road three times in Sweden and Mexico etc)

If they give dispensation for the first arrow then keeping the second arrow becomes even more important.

Current WRC driver salaries listed

Ogier 8-9 m€
Latvala 4-4,5 m€
Neuville 2,5-3 m€
Mikkelsen, Sordo, Paddon, Tänak, Meeke 1-1,5 m€
Lappi 1 m€
Breen 0,6 m€
Rovanperä, Evans 0,1 m€
Suninen only sponsor money, about 0,2m€

Also stuff about the bonus system, like Ogier getting 10% bonus for each win and also bonuses from last year titles. Toyota gives bonus from finishing 2nd or 3rd in the championship. And an interesting bit of fact was that the co-drivers are paid by their drivers, except for Citroen where the team pays their salaries as well.

That salary crap is something some person(s) makes out. Last week Mads got paid 500k by some team for sitting home, Ogier earnt 3 mil etc.
Anyway not nice to look into others wallets.

Tanak would have to have a really shitty agent for him to be making as much money as Paddon or Sordo after last season and having two teams wanting him this past summer.
