He is right.17 cars have larger tyres,better aero,are wider and longer than the 16 ones.Possibly suspension work has improved also.They absolutely must be more stable and less twitchy than the previous gen.

Larger tyres? Have I missed something?
Huge? What is huge about 400 Hp? The torque is unchanged compared to 2016 cars (still way less than 2009 cars), there is active center diff, larger track, much more effective aero. The main reason why the new cars must go less sideways is that they don't suffer from natural understeering like 2016 cars do (thanks to no center diff), also the aerodynamic downforce greatly improves cornering speed, ie. reduces the need for power slide in corner.
That's way too much.Last edited by Mirek; 21st December 2016 at 13:29.

Actually, that's true. I thought my Uncle Tommy was funded by MI, but when I looked closely it was just a very very very VERY very very very rich individual. I don't see the positivity either....
