It was to be expected in second year of major rule overhaul, I predict all cars to be faster than last year. 2018 cars were vastly faster than 2017 ones despite some rather major adjustments to rules that had detrimental effect of performance, not least adding an anchor like entity right on top of f1 cars (halo
).
Maybe development scope is narrower nowadays, but it's still not gonna stop engineers to claw back lost performance and some more.
I honestly expected all teams would be getting quite close to peak performance last year, but obviously they didn't. I'm glad for the progress and somehow I feel like the floor changes wouldn't have affected theoretical peak performance, as it would lead to too much bouncing. Just a feeling.

I believe Christian Horner implied this in his interview 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Thanks, I stand corrected
