In reality this will not change much for next year for the current teams because they have stable driver line-ups and in case of force majeur (injuries for example) they are allowed to substitute the nominated driver anyway.

The only team that could benefit more is Toyota if they will have many drivers that they want to alternate.
This is what I mean. Due to the stable lineups it doesn't really make any difference. It just means Hyundai don't need to make a controversial decision.

But does this ruling now effectively rule out three-car teams for next year?
