About today race... well, ok both toyotas had >3s of handicap, but if during qualifying ran 6s slower than last year, was clearly they were hiding a lot

Mild EoT is acceptable, the success thing isn't... nor is the mandated stint advantage, that's about as bad as the handicaps and in many ways even worse, because it results in direct in-race penalties if not 100% obeyed - even if done accidentally, it sure is horrible criminal act if nonhybrid manages accidentally to do the same lap count as hybrid car. Speaking of which, I had thought this rule too would be deleted for 2020... are we sure it isn't. But then again I also thought this for the 2019 race after it had been scrapped for Fuji 2018 and the rest of the non-LM races of 2018-2019, only to be silently brought back for no reason
