Or, the cars that have fully automatic transmission have a speed/ acceleration advantage, therefore it has been removed.
it's a good thing, I reckon, putting more onus on the drivers skill, not the software engineers.

Now if they would also ban carbon brakes & thus get the braking distance into the corners extended, we might see more competitive racing that way, too.
