It's a problem with hybrid... per defition its a mix of both.
Existing teams and many fans want petrol only and continue as is
Manus want either low costs (so continue as is) or showcase electric.
Hybrid doesn't fully satisfy anyone.

Tbh at this point the purpose of this very article is to do exactly what Adamo says he can't do:
"“I’m Andrea Adamo,” he said. “I’m a small Italian immigrant living in Germany trying to do my best in motorsport. I am nobody to send blackmails to the Hyundai board saying: ‘But there is a deadline!’."

Surely they know starting later with this project than their competitors might curtail their performance, which doesn’t give me much hope it’s going to get the green light.
i suppose if they have the kits they can at least run the powertrains on dynos though?

Another year(22') with same cars to keep Hyundai and maybe figure out some proper new car rules?
Would (old/same cars) get boring for fans and drivers/manus?

What would you have done at this point in 2018 when the manufacturers said "give us an alternate energy source or we quit"? Should Todt have said "we're going with R5", against the manufacturer requests?
For me the current solution was perfect in the sense that it would have kept the action as much as it is now (with the current powerful engines) but allowed the teams to tell their manufacturer executives "we have hybrid cars". Also, full EV rally cars might sound possible this year with STARD and Paddon's team doing demo runs, but in 2018 it wasn't even discussed, most rally fans just laughed or dismissed the idea.
