The whole point of this year’s new rules is to make it easier to follow the car in front.

Do these simulations point to that being successful at all?

The pushed the new cars to next year, this year they wanted to cut downforce levels as the load was too much for the tyres last year.

Oh, I thought these were leaks of the year after. Never mind then!

This year's rule change is about reducing downforce and so slowing cars down to protect the tires. Next year is about following.
