They do conflict themselves. The goal to reduce costs is not going to happen when you have to invest in new technology rather than keep the current technology. The current teams will have to make a new type of battery and hybrid system because they are not currently designed for 'plug-in'. Neither are they designed for doing race speeds on electric (battery) power alone. Then you have new chassis rules, on top of reduced time in the windtunnel which will lead teams to using CFD which is not as accurate and probably more expensive since they will have to use it more for computer to track correlation. Then you reduce on track testing which is much cheaper than trying to do CFD work. How is that reducing costs? This is the same mistake f1 has made.
