Good point mate. It's hard to know what effect it will have, and which teams will be most affected and which will adapt best. The reduction in downforce is good as far as I'm concerned, as I think Formula One is too much car, not enough driver if you know what I mean, and this sort of thing helps to elevate the driver in the equation. But I think the floor change will be more detrimental to the high rake cars, like the Red Bull. Low rakes like Mercedes may not see so much change. But I'm no aero engineer. The upshot is whichever teams deal with it best will see an advantage in the early going.
Wings, diffusers and the side pods are still open game, so the best technical teams should be able to mitigate the new regs' effects to a degree.
