and, between the road direction diagrams, by the defined roadway. Furthermore, on the special stages the
organisers may erect barriers or any other hindrances where they believe competitors have deviated from
the roadway during reconnaissance or the first running of the stages.
Any deviation will be reported to the Stewards."

I completely don't understand the reference in this though:

"13.3.4
Attribution of ‘Power Stage’ points
Points will be awarded according to the scale as described in Art. 5.3.2.
For the purpose of allocating points, the Power Stage Classification shall be calculated using the stage time
plus any other time penalty accrued on this stage, including any false start penalty.
To score points, a driver must be classified in the Final Classification of the rally.
If a driver appears in the Power Stage classification but is not classified in the Final Classification of the rally,
the Stewards shall decide whether the next Competitor should be moved up in the Power Stage classification
for the attribution of Power Stage points.
If the Power Stage is definitively stopped before all P1 drivers eligible to start the Power Stage have had the
opportunity to complete the stage, the FIA may decide that no points are awarded for the Power Stage."

Perhaps some lawyer here can explain those?
How much You define deviation from the route in 14.2 - 2 inches? A penalty for the PS time seem to be defined only for false start time - did Ogier broke that rule?
It says that penalties incurred in the stage count towards it's time, including the false start penalty and I suppose any penalty for cutting corners as well. Correct?
