Lappi and the windshield issue: the WRC regulations provide for it, all regular. Rallyssimo.it had a deeper look:

"the sporting regulations of the WRC foresee exactly such a situation and frame it clearly. Indeed, what happened to Henning Solberg in 2006 in Sweden prompted the FIA to regulate a potentially dangerous situation"

"Driving in the special stage without the windshield is allowed only if both drivers wear protective masks in accordance with the EN1938 standard or a full-face helmet with a closed visor. For information, in all cases described above, the police can still stop the crew and prevent them from continuing on public roads regulated by normal laws. It should be emphasized that, according to the last sentence, the police could have stopped them in transfer and decided otherwise, and perhaps it is in this case that Lappi could perhaps have counted on the fact that he was Finnish."
