As to fun to drive and "more than power numbers". I agree, but what exactly is the draw here? For some AT only = less fun. And as that's the growing trend, that's one additional thing to NOT separate it from the pack. Something else to differential it from the pack would be a light weight. Ooops, doesn't have that either. Rebadged BMW interior isn't really a reason either. Nor a me-too BMW engine. I'm not saying you're wrong (and sure it's too early to pass final judgement) but what's sticking out as compelling to you?
OK if you want to "further highlight human abilities" in motorsports then lets do away with all computer controlled engines systems or anything else that helps a driver. Manual spark advance and air/fuel mix controls, no advanced suspensions, or anything later than rack and pinion steering should about do the trick. Now THAT would highlight human abilities.
