Basically all that changes is the nose? I'd go with B.

I just don't get why they want to make the wings and other bits of bodywork at an angle. that argument about it looking "more agressive" is total BS. And I don't see why they want to allow for more aero, if that's what hinders overtaking.

Same here, since the only change is the nose.

I think A and C are illegal. No bodywork is allowed in front of the line defining the wing leading edge.

What are the 2 box sections at the side of the Sidepods in drawing C? Is that supposed to be an EBD?

Other than that, Nose wise definitely B.

Because this hasn't actually been established or demonstrated. It basically goes back to old cars could overtake, new ones can't, it must be because of aero.

I'm a bit confused: some of the designs have side winglets and two exhausts. Will those be legal next year?

Electronics ECU and various steering wheel dash design should be reintroduced such as Renault with XAP, Ferrari with Magneti Marelli, McLaren with McLaren, etc.

Just as I thought. So why are those features in the drawings, I ask?

Old cars could overtake not because of aero, but because in the old days everything was much more unpredictable than today. Cars would go wrong, strategies would go wrong, and drivers would make mistakes more often.

But when aero keeps you from being able to follow a car closely, it's definitely hindering overtaking.
