    Today it looks nearly as quick as the current WRC car despite the extra weight.

    Adrien Fourmaux's skill or using more of the battery power ?

    Just nearly.

    I think the car looks more balanced. They put battery weight exactly where it should be. However you don´t see any travel of center of balance (?) when braking. And also looks VERY heavy in suspension when landing.

    So, to me looks slower, but we´ll have to deal with it in the future...

    Here we go again judging car performance from test videos, and even from very early tests. Also good to remember that likely the drivers won't drive it as hard as Ogier or Tänak on a pre-event test because wrecking it would delay the development crucially.

    When you say it looks heavy on jump landings, remember that suspension travel has been reduced for the new cars.

    Yeah the first mule is out and already people start to make conclusions based on the first tests. The most important thing atm is not to crash and collect data and they will be doing this for a long time.
