Yes, developments in aero have always been on road cars, regardless of F1.
I never said those features are on the cars because of F1. I said that knowledge gained in F1
may have contributed to the development of the solutions we see on cars today.
This was in response to a post that talked about features on F1 cars being seen on road cars.
Have road cars developed aerodynamic features? Yes.
Did all of these come from F1? No.
Did some of these come from F1? Possibly.
Has knowledge gained through F1 contributed to aero on cars today? Yes.
