* Much smaller front and rear wings;
* A far greater proportion of the total downforce of the cars will be created by the underfloor, compared to the wings;
* A major reduction in the amount of total downforce created by the car;
* To achieve this, the underfloor of the cars will be shaped along its length to generate downforce for the first time since the 1982 season - currently cars have bottoms that are flat between the wheels;
* The average proportion of a lap that a driver is able to spend on full throttle to be cut from 70% in 2010 to 50% in 2013;
* Tyres will remain large and chunky to ensure cornering speeds remain high.
Fantastic news, its the change in direction, F1 has been crying out for.. Personally I'd also ditch the KERS but other than that delighted.
"The new regulations are being fine-tuned by FIA race director Charlie Whiting this week before being sent to the 12 F1 teams for analysis. In the new year, they will be critiqued at the sport's Technical Working Group, a group of leading engineers who effectively define the technical rules.
Head says "sure as hell there'll be some small changes" there. The basic philosophy, though, is expected to stay the same, while Head says the shaped underfloor is "inevitable".
I just hope they dont make too many changes.
I expect that it's just an aim of the changes that drivers should spend no more than 50%'of the time
at full throttle. If they exceed that then either change the cars or the tracks to bring it down.
Looks promising.
I hope these changes in 2013, are going achieve all that we hope for.
