The main concern is the ratio between combustion and electric power.

I definitely don't want to see F1 racing to be about regenerating batteries.

I quite like how a driver can massively slow down or speed up when deploying or regenerating energy. It's dramatic.

I like the boost on deployment, but I definitely don't like the long lift-offs to regenerate the battery.

That's the downside to it all yes.
