According to Golem the body is about 20 percent lighter while keeping exceptional strength in the bumper and side skirts section. As a compensation for the more forward position the body features larger and lower wing mounts to allow for a taller wing to be used while still complying with the rule books. On top of this the wing mounts were reinforced for less flex and vibration and the default wing positions is now 3mm further to the back compared to the R1 which is meant to provide less drag and more effective downforce.
