Will be interesting to see how the "aggressive driving" rule is enforced. What are the penalties? Will these rules keep Schuey from running Rubens into a wall or Hulkenburg from cutting through numerous chicanes?
My fear is that Kobayashi's spectacular overtaking will get penalized and a driver that actually adds excitement during a race will get be encouraged to play "follow-the-leader" like most everyone else.

I find the aggressive driving rule slightly silly, they would not have to implement the rule so forcefully if kerbs actually punished vehicles that mounted them. Kerbs in the 60's especially were tyres that were mounted into the ground that would rip the cars wheels right off should drivers get overly aggressive with them. As it is now, with tarmac runoff, the distinction between the circuit and runoff is more or less the white line which carries minimal consequence, which causes more aggressive driving on behalf of everyone. Fix that and the need for rules like this will be greatly reduced.

Great explanation of the new technical regs on Craig Scarborough's blog:

Looks like even passive F-ducts are effectively banned with the tighter restrictions on slotted rear wings.
