TL;DR: F1 did a shed load of CFD analysis to set the rules then had a team designing to them and pointing out loopholes, which they then removed. All looks strangely well thought out and holistic compared to previous rule changes…
I think the best decision F1 has made in a long time is putting someone like Ross Brawn in charge (well, not 'in charge' in charge, but with a strong say in this sort of stuff). This definitely feels like Mr. Double Diffuser's work
