Hope this is true. I like the looks of this car. Much cleaner. I hate the bloody winglets and multiplane front wings they have now..

When I read the article you linked all I could think of was that F1 was somehow pre-empting the teams by doing the work they should be doing and that we are getting closer and closer to a spec-car formula with all this. How refreshing it would be to simply give the teams an energy budget for each race meeting to be used as they see fit to best attain victory at the end of the last lap on the final day. This wouldn't preclude the structural and safety testing and regulation that have so greatly benefited the sport in the last few decades, but I only wish the teams had more freedom from the perspective of all aspects of racing car design - structure, road holding and powerplant strategy. Historically, of course, Formula Libre has generally not worked out well, but surely something less, to use the word in the linked article, "prescriptive" would benefit the sport from the point of view of variety and innovation in car design. But perhaps I'm being too nostalgic and romantic about this multi billion dollar business.

I really like the clean look of the car. A much simpler front and rear wing, and all those winglets and what nots gone. The intent is to let the cars actually race and tuck up right behind the rear wing.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this package or the final package both increases the head to head racing, and affords more teams the opportunity to be some what more competitive then they are now. Assuming that McLaren becomes the next front runner, You'll only have Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull, and McLaren being truly competitive. Many refer to the rest of the grid as not only mid packers but formula 1.5.
