I remember how excited we were before the first race how we will see the boost and see different strategies on applying it and driving styles etc.

Then we got this automatic blinking stuff from the telemetry that gets boring after 2 mins and whos effect you can't follow.
The Hybrid WRC cars are completely pointless, honestly they could do away with the whole hybrid system, put a sticker on the car that says hybrid, and nobody outside the service park would ever know it wasn’t.
The Sesks car showed that the hybrid doesn’t add anything to the show, and even with less overall power and the same weight, it was competitive.
The pointlessness of Hybrid has just been highlighted by BMW. I’m lucky enough to have an M5 Competition, and the dealer just contacted me about the new M5 model which is a hybrid, it has approx. 100bhp more than mine, but is 570kg heavier, and slower!!!!
That isn’t an answer to a question anyone is asking except bureaucrats…hopefully someone sees sense on this net zero madness soon.
