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.
