Yeah they wanted to keep the same suspension/gearbox, so makes sense to keep the chassis. Means teams can continue to ise all their spare parts too.
yeah exactly , which is good news for us after it took 2 months to build it ,
If I can redo the chassis within 14 days ill be happy ,
only thing I noticed I have like 50+ 4-5k photos already of the car , from a press pass ,
and just been looking at the dimensions ,
Overall length: 5224 mm (was 5065mm)
Overall width: 1900 mm (unchanged)
Overall height: 1097 mm including FOM roll hoop camera (was 1072 mm)
Wheelbase: 3135 mm (was 3120mm)
Overall weight: 720 kg (driver on-board)
Rear wing extends out more total difference is around 159mm from looking ,
so for example the rear wing is maybe 39mm extended as it at an angle ,
and the front nose is 120mm longer and obviously lower ,
the wheelbase only at the front is 65mm shorter , which means everything is back more and angled backwards slightly more but the strut mount is on the same position ,
so the front strut as seen here ,
which means now the front strut because its in the same position , as moved from going through the top arm ,
to going just in front of the top arm and inbetween the top arm and the steering arm
