Development never ceases, engine size, aero, tyres etc. are cut, but speeds remain in the same ballpark.

With cars weighing 775kg, ultilising hybrid systems, the IC engine may only produce 450bhp, maintaining current speeds with greater efficiency.

Additionally, it's proposed energy will be reduced each year, an additional opportunity to reduce race pace, without tinkering with the cars.
