I can understand why the rules can get cloudy with crappy wording like that. My feeling was that the powers that be have a stronger hold of the "spirt of the rule". It is most likely time to tighten the rulebook up so these issues do not keep showing up.
Anyway it will certainly be interesting to see how this car developes in both speed and durabiliy. My prediction is that the hybrid chassis might have some frame cracking issues much like the Bowman FF chassis did that came over from England with a frame that could not put up with the forces of slicks and 2 liter power.
