I agree that a new chassis would be coming for 2020 anyway, but they're seemingly a big departure from what we have currently thanks to the size of the cockpit and the more upright seating position. Then you take into consideration they will most likely have to carry a bigger battery pack to do the 1km on only electric at a respectable speed. All that will change the way the chassis is designed and constructed. There's still a few years to go, so we'll see what the actual regs look like in the near future, but imo it's not saving money with their proposals. Especially cutting testing and windtunnel hours. That's a mistake f1 has made and nearly no team can cut into the lead of the best (Mercedes) because running is so limited.
