A proposed FIA rule for next year is to reduce aero downforce by X %. As I see it, aerodynamics is an evolving science - nothing concrete about it as it applies to vehicle dynamics. The rules will mandate reducing wing dimensions or position or some such, then the manufacturers will spend hundreds of man hours recooping the lost downforce, then add some as they tend to do. If they want to cut speeds, why not just restrict intake or exhaust size (choke the air pump)? Obviously I'm missing something. What is it?
