But seriously, engine and diff mappings are probably also very crucial at the moment, I doubt it will be more complicated than that. And developing software is cheaper than developing mechanical parts.

And when the first news came in about electric boost, my first thought was how great sporting aspect it could be, something to show on the telemetry on TV and compare driver strategies, but for some reason that's not going to happen.

Well I don't get why it just can't be a button either.
Maybe with some "speed limit" that makes it impossible to use above 120 kp/h or something like that.

Then again without gear changes on the steering wheel it might get a bit busy in the cockpit.

If Msport were serious his money would buy a full season in a 4th car.

Msport were prepared to pay and run a driver like Tanak/Evans/Neuville/ Ogier which would've cost millions, so I don't think it looks great if Greensmith is one of the 3 points scorers considering Fourmaux will also be bringing budget.....

Breen/ Fourmaux/ Greensmith doesn't look nearly as strong as Breen, Fourmaux and one of Mikkelsen/Suninen/Lappi etc
