F1 2020 predictions

There are lots of threads going about future changes both to the rules and the cars, some minor tweaks, other such as the enclosed cockpit are far more radical.
Buts lets really think about the future and come up with proper suggestions of what you want an F1 car in lets 2020 to look like. I’m not talking about a full technical breakdown but to give a verbal “walk/talk around” of the car in words that everyone can understand.
So comments like “the front wing has a single full width lowest panel as the current cars do, but then a maximum of 2 additional elements either side of the nose cone” and “the cars are 20cm wider overall than the current ones” are descriptive without being too technical … This what I have in mind.
Mention any cost saving areas or new/additional devices that are now common, or controlled by an enhanced common ECU.

Adding to this the Relaunched F1 2020 is open to reworking the weekend format, so why not take a shot at this at the same time.

A post might begin ...
Front wing narrower than current one by 10 cm and constructed from a maximum of 4 elements. The front wing must be of a mandated ground clearance when stationary on the flat patch with mandated pressure (weights) applied.
Front tyres are the same width as current, but are made onto 16 inch rims with 5 inch tyre walls giving the same 26 inch diameter as the current cars have.
Engine and hybrid evolution to 1000Bhp
Etc., etc.

Let's hear your descriptions
