Simple, yet stupid question.

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

New question

After seeing McLaren's rear suspension which is thick, was wondering if the same principal could be applied for the entire floor? At the moment all teams use floors that are as this as possible, is it a via requirements that they are thin or can they be made a couple of inches thick.

Idea being the current rules state that the diffuser be 175 mm tall from reference but if the floor is 4 inches thick this makes the diffuser taller at the exit.

So what are the rules on this area
