The new F1 technical rules for 2023: https://racingnews365.com/the-new-f1-technical-rules-for-2023

"The 2023 Formula 1 season will see the introduction of several changes to the technical regulations. Among other tweaks, the focus of the new regulations has mainly been on the floor, in an attempt to totally eliminate or drastically reducing porpoising.

Raised floor edges
The outer edge of the floor in front of the rear wheels must be raised by 15 millimetres. Alongside this change, tests have been introduced to measure the vertical bending of the edges. In 2022 a deflection of 8 millimetres downwards and 12 millimetres upwards was allowed, whereas in 2023 the maximum deflection will be limited to only five millimetres in both directions (upwards and downwards). By introducing these new limits, the FIA seeks to make it more difficult to use the lateral edges to create a physical seal with the ground.

More sensors to measure vertical accelerations
Since the 2022 Belgian GP, sensors have been introduced to measure the vertical accelerations of the cars. In 2023, the measurements, thanks to the increase in the number of dedicated sensors, will be even more accurate.

Raised the "throat" of the diffuser
The point where the section of the diffuser narrows, where the Venturi channels flow, is referred to as the "throat". The accelerating air flow in this section produces a pressure change, increasing downforce. The FIA has decided to raise it by 10mm to reduce the sensitivity of Formula 1 to variations of dynamic ride heights (meaning when the car is in motion).

Weight reduction
Minimum weight drops. In 2023 it will be 796 kilograms, two less than the 798 target in 2022.

Stricter tests for the roll bar and larger rear view mirrors
Zhou's accident at Silverstone prompted the tightening of main roll hoop structure tests. It shall withstand an impact of 15G and withstand the simultaneous application of a frontally and rearwardly applied load. In 2023 the surface (cross section) of the mirrors will be increased by 50% to enhance rear visibility.

Stricter guidelines for the front wing assembly
Last year Mercedes caused a stir with the introduction of a front wing characterised by a particular shaped connection between endplates and flaps, furthermore, a version of the wing featuring profile shaped flap separators. The FIA in 2023 will not allow such "extreme" designs."

Mercedes again caught cheating... Lol
 
F1 rumours: Early details emerge on Ferrari and Red Bull 2023 cars: https://www.planetf1.com/news/f1-rumours-early-details-red-bull-ferrari-f1-2023-cars/

" ... respected Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport believe they have some early pointers on the F1 2023 cars themselves, especially those expected to fight at the sharp end of the grid this upcoming season.

In a technical report on the as-yet-unnamed Ferrari car – simply known as Project 675 at the moment – the Scuderia are producing a car that will be an evolution and not a revolution of the F1-75, which showcased immense quality despite the car being overshadowed by plethora of Ferrari mistakes that ultimately saw their early World Championship bid left in tatters.

La Gazzetta dello Sport are of the opinion that Ferrari’s 2023 car will be narrower due to an ‘aerodynamic concept that will be largely different’ and innovations such as a new gearbox will ‘be more capable of increasing the competitiveness of the car’. The report also mentions Ferrari will be able to unlock another 30 horsepower from their power unit.

As for the Red Bull car, widely expected to be called the RB19, author Paolo Filisetti disclosed that the car is set to be 3kg lighter than its dominant F1 2022 predecessor.

He added: ‘The gearbox, thanks to a different placement of the suspension elements, will present a lower narrowing, increasing the section of the Venturi channels.

‘The layout of the sides will maintain strong points of contact with the 2022 car, but will be characterised by a refinement of the ‘double bottom’.’

Rumours of a lighter Red Bull chassis are certainly not new as, during the F1 2022 season, there appeared to be a plan to introduce one in the second half of the campaign.

In August of 2022, Auto Motor und Sport reported a leaner Red Bull chassis was set to undergo crash tests ahead of a possible introduction for the final six races of the season. ..."
