Highlights:
* Much smaller front and rear wings
* A far greater proportion of the total downforce of the cars will be created by the underfloor, compared to the wings
* A major reduction in the amount of total downforce created by the car
* To achieve this, the underfloor of the cars will be shaped along its length to generate downforce for the first time since the 1982 season - currently cars have bottoms that are flat between the wheels
* The average proportion of a lap that a driver is able to spend on full throttle to be cut from 70% in 2010 to 50% in 2013
* Tyres will remain large and chunky to ensure cornering speeds remain high
