Rules for 2013

Also, why do they want to reduce the drag co-efficient? Wont this make slipstreaming more difficult?

Making the wings smaller might allow drivers to follow cloe so we don't need DRS.

Well it can't hurt. It was very impressive to see how close the guys could stay through turn eight in 'dirty air', so perhaps the DRS could then be freed up for everyone to use if we loose that issue.

I doubt it though. The squints are just too damn smart and will claw back all the lost downforce in a few years putting us back at square one. I'm a bit disappointed they haven't followed through on the GE.

It's more the churned up air mid corner that causes the probs. Hell, I've had a decent tow off a stock touring car back in the day, and they have Drag of less than 0.3 if I recall correctly. Any tow is useable if you are a few car lengths back - not so much if you are over a second away.

And I guess that lower drag will increase the braking distances, making overtaking easier?
