I wish there was an unlimited class of car racing. Imagine the technology/systems that would be developed.

Apparently when Williams first put the suspension on the car, Mansell refused to drive it because it was so hard to feel the grip through the car, he was forced to just trust that the car wasn't sliding away from him. This was also the reason Mansell was so dominant compared to Patrese because if Mansell got through a corner without losing the back end, he'd just go faster the next lap until he found the limit whereas Patrese never fully trusted the car enough to drive like that

I remember when this all went down, along with FIA banning other tech. It had nothing to do with safety, it was because some teams had become dominant to a point that there was no parity, which made for less exciting racing. There was a point when Ferrari was spending $300M/season on wind tunnel testing alone, which was more than most teams' entire program.

It's interesting to watch this video in light of current porpoising issues. I think it's a shame that the FIA didn't allow the return of active suspension, or at least trial it for a year to see if any issues actually came up.

I just love those footages of the car going up and down in its box like if it was alive and preparing itself ahead of a race

The fact that senna could keep up with them, and overtake them in donnington in the rain just shows how ahed he was of everyone else.
