    nothing groundbraking

    - batteries 80-90 kg in the car
    - that the hybrid system and its usage is still so new to everybody, a lot of work still to do how to use it, doing different simulations, strategies etc.
    - if you use the energy wisely you can win a lot
    - he thinks the bravest wont be the fastest anymore but the one who is smart and uses the energy wisely, even when youre slower in the corner for example but you win a lot on the straight
    - since the car is heavier you cant play around with it so much anymore and you need a different driving style
    - nobody knows what will exactly happen in Monte

    “ After seeing the Puma and the Yaris 2022, the former impresses much more than the latter. I’m sure the cars will change until they get to Monte-Carlo but the people at M-Sport seem to be carrying the most advanced work.”

    The automatic answer to any performance comments based on test vids:

    C3 looked clearly fastest on tests before 2017 season, Toyota looked close to hopeless.

    I think Adamo mentioned in one of his interviews they have to homologate their 2022 machines until the 1st of January 2022.

    What did happen with the suspension regs? Did they put in a max travel for the front and rear wheels?

    That's one thing which puzzles me. I simply don't see any meaning in doing so. Why limit suspension travel? The impact on the cost is probably marginal, it only makes the cars harder and riskier to drive on the limit. In fact the suspension travel is somewhat self-regulated by other limits (McPherson strut design, car width, driveshaft joint extreme angles).
