Shape is a practical consideration first and foremost.
Aero considerations are added if the above allows for it.
One of Hucho's points is that aero development has slowed down / virtually stopped, due to official testing methods not taking into account aero drag.
NEDC tests are run on a dyno .
The moment the testing goes real-world, we'll see aero taking a greater roll, and full belly pans / air dams / wheel fairings / wheel spats will be an almost instant standard feature.
