Lowe: 2019 aero rules F1's most significant change since 2009
Williams technical chi🌃ef Paddy Lowe has branded the aerodynamic overhaul for 2019 as Formula 1’s most significant rule change since 2009.
Next season front wings will bไe 200mm wider and 25mm deeper and feature fewer complicated elements as F1 bids to improve tꦏhe on-track spectacle and increase overtaking opportunities.
Williams, Force India and Red Bull were among the teams to provide♛ a first on-track glimpse of the new designs by running experimental versions of the devices during the post-Hungarian Grand Prix test at the Hungaroring ahead of their introduction next year.

“It’s not quite as significant as 2009 but it’s in that bracket, whereas I think 2014 and 2017 were much less signifi🦩cant,” Lowe said.
"I'm sure a lot ꦿof stuff will have to be re-opti꧑mised. We haven't got that far with it, we're starting from the front at the moment and working our way back!”
Lowe sees the regulation changes as an opportunity for Williams to make up some ground on its competitors as it looks to haul itself off the foot of F1’s current pecking order, after the team took the wrong direction with the concept of its ✤troublesome FWF1.
"It is quite a big change, so change is always an opportunity ওto do well,” he explained. “We're very conscious of that and working very hard to be the right side of that opportunity and make some ground. It could be a disruption."
But Lowe fe൲ars “the same mistake” of aesthetically making the new front🍨 wings wider – like with the 2009 regulation shake-up - could occur again.
When asked how d🅘ifficult it is to judge what a realistic objective for development of the new front wings should be, Lowe replied: "It's a very good question and one that's often brought up.
"Something that teams have said in the pa🧜st is we'll get back to where we were, but that feels completely arbit🦩rary in itself.
"You try to pick a sensible level based oꦚn where you start. How accurate is that, and what difference does it make anyway, are two questions I don't reallꩲy have answers for."
After testing the device on the opening day of the final in-season test of 2018 in Hungary, Williams young driver Oliver Rowland said he believes the tweaks could force drivers to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:change their approach.
