Yes.
Only instead of 10min penalty per stage, now it's 2min

I assume a red light can mean something like the battery has a voltage leak, when i went to Ford training we dismantled a Mustang Mach-E battery that 150v leak into the frame of the battery.

This is a joke! What is the difference between 10 minutes and 2 minutes? Nothing! If it doesn't happen on the last stage of the day, you are still so behind that the only thing you can do is to compete for PS points.

A decision by committee if ever there was one.

If a tyre from the control tyre supplier fails you don't get a break....

Of it the fuel from the control fuel supplier fails...

Teams can take up to 2 spares with them.
Fuel fails? so often.
If you run out of tyres or fuel fails, you can't drive further. That's it.

If the HY decides to go in error, the car is still able to drive.
Teams can't do anything else(to improve the system themselves) than just hope that it works. If it fails then Compact Dynamics guy says that bad luck and maybe they can drive some time back next day
