But having said that, due to its open-wheel and open cockpit design Formula One's aerodynamics will never be relevant to any road car including the multi-million hypercars. As aero development is totally irrelevant, costs an awful lot and has detrimental effect on the racing, they should just get rid of it. Yes, Formula One will become a "Formula Ford on steroids", but would that be a problem?
