All of which will lead to less passing and more emphasis on qualifying.

Have to keep an open mind for next year,  it will be interesting to see how testing goes and then the first race.

We'll have to wait and see on that I think Lonny, the lowering of the rear wings is an attempt to allow following cars to stay more in touch by running closer when trying to line up overtakes.

My concern is the wider cars with more cornering grip on narrower tracks, if the drivers don't up their game we are likely to have more 1st & 2nd corner collisions at the start.
