    A lot of people don’t realize a major objective of technical regulations is to intentionally slow the cars down and keep them below a particular speed.

      I’ll be surprised if these cars get over 250 km/h at their fastest. Then again, I don’t have access to their testing data, so take that with an ocean of salt.

        Honestly I expect the overall laptime to be about the same as current after a couple seasons. I’m just guessing too though.

        They’ll probably gain some speed in low/medium speed corners, and lose speed in high speed sections. Although additional active-aero will help some.
