well of course the car would need to be changed to make it go as fast as b4.
but they change the rules to make them go slower, which is what they did.
the weight difference would be all changed yes.. and the aero balance..
the weight difference can be sorted by springs and roll bars to a large extent. the aero balance can be changed by reducing the areo effect at one end of the car.
the CofG would be moved after both these things have been decided to some extent.
if they decided to have 1inch wheels at the rear, they would make the back REALLY soft. and the fron harder. while moving the mass rearwards to assist traction.
ANY car can be sorted.
but some go faster than others due to, weight distribution, power, handling. etc.
basically the weight is moved abuot to get the most from the tires.
im sure that the F1 boys dont move the ballast around more than 1% during the year. once its sorted its done.
so they change the rules to make the cars slower, by altering the balance to some extent makes them even slow, ie, raising the front wing off the ground has reduced the front grip, so they would have had to reduce the rear wing to (i know they reduced that too but makes no difference).
