Maybe it's been discussed before or elsewhere, but this engine development by Toyota and also Hyundai which each has announced here - wasn't the development of the 1.6 WRC engines supposed to be frozen at the end of 2021 ?
Millener went off at "PET" :)

What does a mid-season upgrade consist of these days?
“I think broadly speaking it’s power,” Fowler explains. “Every year we say we’ve gone torque, power, torque, power, torque, power. For the moment we’ve been looking for more power for the simple reason that the electric motor has got torque, so why would you put more of that at this point?
“So yeah, a more powerful engine is coming.”
Didn't they move deadline for freeze until half of 2022?Quote:

Add 0.5hp to the previous engine spec and you have a more powerful engine. Marketing is part of the business.
And I think they can do lots with the software
