The only thing I hope, is to see all engines balanced in the better way as possible. Diesel cannot be anymore helped by rules. Petrol engines must be as performant as diesel ones. This may attract more manufacturers interested in petrol engines. By now, with Peugeot forfait, only Audi has remained with diesel, and this can't be considered as the leading solution. Now it's time for hybrid (diesel or petrol), but all engines must be on the same plain.
I fear there will not be enough space for small engine suppliers, such as AER and Judd, because of the rising interest of manufacturers in petrol engines. That's not good. Small manufacturers have always been Le Mans salt!
