Damn, that's pretty drastic! I had no idea that they're reworking the sizes to such an extent.
Especially if they're gonna keep shoving street circuits down our throats, they might as well make the cars more suitable.
You wouldn't race fullsize SUVs down the streets of Monaco, yet somehow you're expected to in modern F1 cars which are comparable in length and width.
It's a step in the right direction for sure, and hopefully the shorter wheelbase will help with manoeuvrability somewhat. Width going from 2m to 1.9m I'm not sure will be hugely impactful (and weren't the cars even wider in the 80s?). I'm still hesitant to be fully hopeful since the weight reduction will reportedly be minimal compared to current regs, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
I'm guessing more innovation in battery technology is necessary to reduce weight further so maybe the next new regs after '26 if we're lucky?
It will bee interesting to how they work around the downforce loss due to the floor being so much smaller.
