The initial hybrid rules aimed to balance power and efficiency, but some argue they've made the cars too complex. This complexity might be hindering overtaking opportunities, a key element of exciting racing. The new engine regulations also brought concerns about increased costs for teams. Smaller teams, in particular, worry about keeping pace with the financial demands of hybrid technology.
