Besides, apart some populist politicians, who can assure that Hybrids will end on a near future? Did you know that many of those German manus that jumped into FE to save their faces are now reconsidering to get into the 2022/23 WEC-LM/IMSA Hybrid formula (LMDh)? And that Hyundai, through their American arm, is being pushed to also get into LMDh? https://racer.com/2020/09/18/imsa-re...l-regulations/




That's a big if and besides the autonomy issues there are also safety questions and, most of all, reliability founded doubts, considering Rally extreme challenges. Again, unless we turn this sport into a Mickey Mouse competition, full EV’s aren’t ready for it.
I’m not saying the manufacturers are saying the want to go electric.
I said you claiming the FIA make the decision is inaccurate. They will ultimately serve the demands of the manufacturer.
