Has probably been written somewhere, but Sesks doing Poland without Hybrid, will they remowe it completely and add extra weight or how does it work?

Sadly they replace it with ballast.

I remember pre rally 1 cars they had 42 days of testing and before that 55. What do you guys think? 21 is too little?

Sounds like an excuse for his poor recent performances by Evans.

Plus the teams can test as much as they like at their home base.

And the top drivers are very experienced now and Teams have a lot of data plus videos to watch so they should be well-prepared everywhere.

I wasn't making excuses for Evans, he is off the mark this year, but it's wild to think only 5 years ago they had 52?60? days of testing a year and now they have half..or less.

I meant he was making it an excuse in his quotes on reduced testing.

The reduction in testing was one of the money-saving changes. Probably to limit big spending by the factory teams and to make it easier for M-Sport to complete.
