Dallara does also make the SF23 Super Formula chassis so it's likely that they will improve upon it for their next Indy car chassis with the hope that they will make the car lighter than then current chassis which is heavier than the SF23. It would be cool to see SF and Indy crossover races, even if for just exhibition.
Potentially.
The safety standards are a lot higher in Indy Car than any other open wheel series due mainly to running on ovals.
Much talk was made of Verstappen’s crash at Silverstone, but crashes of that magnitude (or geater) is somewhat a regular occurance in Indy Car (they’re pretty rare in F1). The safety record of the current car is pretty amazing considering how big of shunts there have been over its life span.
Indy also requires focus on blowover testing, ie: when the cars get sideways or backwards at 180-200mph plus, what does the car do? They want to keep them on the ground. Even F1 doesn’t require that.
