Diabando should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridDiabando should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
What is this little snippet of infomation I have heard, about altering the ride height of the cars, to lessen downforce next year??

Can someone enlighten further?

I think it's about the front wings, which has to be 5 cm higher than this year. Here (from Atlas F1):
  • Front wing to be 50mm higher
  • New roll structure test with higher loads, the lateral component being 400% higher than the 2000 figure
  • In order to help prevent a wheel becoming separated in the event of an accident, two cables (previously one), with separate attachments, must be fitted to connect each wheel to the main structure of the car
  • Larger cockpit opening, further back from the front wheels (to help tall drivers)
  • The seat back is referenced to the headrest and cockpit opening (also to help tall drivers)
  • Larger internal cockpit cross section with 25mm foam padding around the driver's legs
  • Larger minimum external chassis cross sections
  • The driver's removable seat fixings will be standardised in order to allow the seats of all cars to be removed using the same tool.
