Would anybody object to the idea of components from a road car being used in F1?It would strengthen the links between racetrack and road.It might be necessary to stipulate that only components from cars produced at a rate of over 50,000 per year could be considered to keep the super exotic stuff out.It might mean the scrapyards would be scoured for suspension parts from 60's Citroens as they had features the FIA has worked tirelessly to ban.On the other hand I don't believe many road cars have a need for inerters.Why not consider air suspension like the larger Audis and Jaguars?The cars have a need for compressed air for pneumatic valve springs and are likely to have a source of air.
There is and will probably always will be something pretty absurd about hundreds of engineers scratching for microscopic improvements in a formula that is edging ever closer to becoming GP1.
