The Dallara-made SF19 will replace the aging SF14, which has been in use for the last four years. It takes several cues from the new generation of Formula 1 cars, with a lower and swept back rear wing being the most prominent change. Fins have been added to both sidepods in a bid to make the car look more spectacular.
