Exactly my point. The writer wants to make it look like the board will say no anyway. There is zero indication of that. If that's true, why did they join in the first place? Do they believe hybrid technology is fully developed? Is the author saying Porsche would have also pulled out if the previous 2018 rules of adding another hybrid system would have been implemented? There's just no logic here.
In fact, it is proven that they are amendable to scaling down the operation (from three cars to two). The money that is spent is clearly an issue. That's the point of agreeing with Toyota to not change chassis for another two years and the cost reductions in the new regulations. The plug-in stuff is the new way of development, which is both relevant and a lot cheaper than adding another hybrid system.
