Who started these tactics hiding himself in forest before power stage and who was Tänak teammates with whom he learned this?
Ogier himself.
So don’t come crying here only about Ott and that comparison with F1 is just stupid.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

You also have to question if Rally 2 is fair and what is it really for. I always thought it was so the fans could see more cars.
And also for drivers to get more experience. But with the top teams/drivers this really isnt the case any more...

Sorry I have to nitpick but if a fastest lap of the race is scored from a driver outside the top 10 it doesn't give that point in F1. But I see what you're getting at.
It's such a grey area this though. People want to see sportsmanlike actions but the drivers/teams will still want to make the best out of their situations as far as regulations allow them to.

There's two main reasons
1. Driver power stage points (also in some cases the driver can still get to top 10 although under restart rules
2. Manufacturer points. No matter how low the car is in the overall standings, if it's the second best car of the team, it will get manufacturer points.
Rallying a WRC car is expensive, no one does it just to entertain fans. On some occasions they might use a restart day for testing to a subsequent event, not so much for "driver experience".

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
