I have to admit I was wrong. I also tried to search for a source mentioning manual shifting, but I guess I just assumed all along that they are going back to that. Sorry.

In here Millener talks about hydraulic systems which cost around £40,000 so maybe the paddle shift could also be a way to make the cars cheaper.

Also Wilson wouldnt confirm Fiesta or Puma as their 2022 'base' car.
But I see today Suninen was given a Puma road car...
