The EV mode idea sounds amazingly stupid marketing gimmick. It will affect the races otherwise too, since it is probably safe to assume the cars aren't going to be going as fast in EV only. And also dangerous due speed differences. And imagine a close race, one more lap to go... time for EV MODE! And then the cars crawl over the finish line.

Other than that, more or less the same and I'm afraid it is not enough. All these nominal cost saving and development do is make them find smaller margins elsewhere and if the initial choices are wrong, then make in-season catch up harder. You'd think F1 would have already proven this.

At least the one bodykit with movable aero LM config in mind makes sense and more sense than the current two, which has now ruined two races.
