Indeed it’s mostly for safety, active aero is difficult to keep in check as demonstrated by this static rule bending years. F1 is a part of technology advancements but just as space it should be done in a safely manner.

Not that I don’t like the idea of a mind blown fast F1 car, all for it. And I think everyone had goosebumps when seeing an Williams from the 90’s moving it suspension in the garage. But we’ve also seen to what all of that let.

For its time the engineering behind that Williams active suspension is insane, its controlled by something that would probably be under powered for a modern washing machine compared to what they would use today. Didn't they have to program it in assembly to make it fit into the storage they had available? I'mlimitedbythetechnologyofmytime.gif
