Since quite some time, the rules of F1 have been getting more stringent with time. With the advent of more technology which is pushing speed to new limits, the FIA has been keeping checks primarily to reinforce driver safety. But .. If allowed to go berserk and design the most advanced (with no cost or rules constraints) and the fastest car possible, what changes in the current design do you think engineers would want to bring about ? Considering technologies like Active aero, active suspension, CVT, etc. (designs which did very well but were subsequent,y banned) which have the possibilities to push speed to new limits, which of these would make the F1 the epitome of speed around a track. I've been thinking about this for a while and have kind of out in my own small list
- all wheel drive with individual torque vectoring using wheel hub motors accompanied by a smaller petrol engine which would provide power when required to the tear wheels
- electronically controlled traction to let tire grip always stay at the edge of traction circle
- active suspension which restricts any sort if body roll and change in tire contact patch with active control of camber, toe, etc
- active aero and advanced aeroelasticity to obtain optimum down force and drag
These are to name a few. I would really like to know what u guys think. Thank your
