He's right about Audi not taking any risks at all with their car. Going by the current level of technology in LMP1-H, their car can be labeled as pretty conservative. That is their choice and it worked out in their favor at Le Mans, all fine.
But I don't see why they should get any break. LMP1-H is all about innovation and Audi's doing very little on that front, especially compared to Toyota and Porsche.
Rewarding them for that with a rules break would send the entirely wrong signal and actually discourage manufacturers from taking development risks, which is what Toyota & Porsche have done.
The whole argument is simply not reasonable. Audi have just won Le Mans, less than two weeks ago. And yet they're already complaining again. It's so tiresome.

Yes, Toyota's engine is much more innovative than Audi's engine...
