Kevin Magnussen: Feel easier to follow new 2019 F1 cars

MONTMELO, Spain -- After his first chance to properly follow a rival on track in testing, Haas' Kevin Magnussen said the early signs are that the changes made to Formula One cars in 2019 will improve racing.

F1 fans have been promised an improvement to the spectacle this season with cars featuring wider front and rear wings as well as modified bargeboards and brake ducts. The motivation behind the changes were simple: to reduce the turbulent airflow behind each car (known in motor racing as 'dirty air') which previously had made it harder for a pursuing vehicle to follow too closely without suffering a loss in performance.
