I think it's about the front wings, which has to be 5 cm higher than this year. Here ( from Atlas F1): - Front wing to be 50mm higher
- New roll structure test with higher loads, the lateral component being 400% higher than the 2000 figure
- In order to help prevent a wheel becoming separated in the event of an accident, two cables (previously one), with separate attachments, must be fitted to connect each wheel to the main structure of the car
- Larger cockpit opening, further back from the front wheels (to help tall drivers)
- The seat back is referenced to the headrest and cockpit opening (also to help tall drivers)
- Larger internal cockpit cross section with 25mm foam padding around the driver's legs
- Larger minimum external chassis cross sections
- The driver's removable seat fixings will be standardised in order to allow the seats of all cars to be removed using the same tool.
