The rule changes taking place after next season are intended to make the cars faster and more challenging to drive, and
enable more passing. We've lost track of how many times we've heard that and how many rule changes we've been through to to make it happen. That being said, 2017's rule changes are admittedly radical, with cars to have more downforce than ever.
Williams FW38 is involve an 1850mm wide front wing - which is 200mm wider than the version currently used – and a rear wing that is 950mm wide and 800mm high.
The diffuser design will also be similar to how F1 cars were back in 2010, which should allow improved performance from the floor.
One change that has been approved is for the tyres to be slightly narrower than first proposed, because of concerns that the higher drag produced by the original concept offsetting all aerodynamic gains.
So the idea now is for the tyres to be 300mm wide at the front and 400mm wide at the rear. Current tyres are 245mm wide at the front and 325mm wider at the rear.
