Actually, they say it isn't a new chassis, however everything else (aero) has changed.

You sure? From what I'm reading it's a new chassis.

Glad to see it! I can't say I'm a fan of the team, but it'll be good to see them a bit closer to the pack.

Yup, that's what I read as well; that it's a new chassis from the ground up. It even had to pass another FIA crash test.

Wouldn't it be ironic with the Bridgestones and with the new chassis, SAF1 start beating HF1...oh man...heads are gonna roll

That would be sad..
Last race SAF1 had 1 car finish the race.
HRF1 had none.

"Although the monocoque has been carried over, the SA06 is believed to be so heavily revised that it had to undergo a new FIA crash-test."
