I don't like the direction where this is going. Front axle regen makes so much sense, removing it because a team or two finds it too challenging to implement (?) or think that Audi is too OP in this regard (?) is stupid in my opinion. Replacing this with the new proposal to burn fuel to generate electric power when the engine isn't under full load (in corners I guess) isn't great. Removing the MGU-H is already sad if you ask me, although understandable if new engine suppliers are to join in.

I dislike simplifying the gearbox to only have six gears and be a spec part as well. Stop making more and more parts spec parts, F1 isn't supposed to be a spec series. I enjoy F1 also because of the car development!

We'll see where it'll end up in a few years.
