The P word strikes again

If everything was done right, then why is Seamer suddenly having to defend it?

The comments below the article are entertaining; and it would appear not many seem to be easily fooled.

Yes, why do it for the current cars when there is a new gen coming in 2021? Or will it be delayed?

I missed the 15% reduction level on first reading.
A reduction of 15% hardly seems worth the bother.

85% * 350kgf = 297.5 kgf downforce at 200 km/hr for 2020

Why not reduce the downforce down to 250 kgf at 200 km/hr (28% reduction), or even 150 kgf at 200 km/hr (42% reduction)?

[Same goes for the 15hp power reduction (2%). Hardly worth the bother either!]
