The purported reason for the aero changes was to make cars more driveable in the wake of a preceding car, thus setting up more overtaking possibilities.
While some drivers have been taking brief opportunities to follow rival cars to check aero performance the fact that testing only involves one car per team prevents testing from being able to develop that function.
With the major changes being to front wing layout and rear wing height this means that there is no way teams can get a real handle on this until Australia.
Good thing or bad thing?
