Lotus under Colin Chapman were the cutting edge at that time

Williams and their active suspension...... :shock:

Lotus first introduced and raced the 'active suspension' in '83 and Nigel's 1992 WDC came in an 'active' car.

WIlliams employed what they called a re-active suspention rather than an active one and completely different from what Lotus employed whilst Mansell was there.

Whats in a name....???

It used electronically controlled dampers rather than hydraulic pistons.

less power required but much the same effect.

Yah I still think the 'mid-engine' concept and the introduction of aerodynamic downforce are the two most important innovation's in F1.

And just think After it was banned, Ferrari developed a mechanical system that never raced. Just think they have been cheating for years and trying to circumvent the rules.....

I think calling them cheater's is missing the whole point. There is nothing wrong with pushing the 'interpretation' of a rule, it happen's in every other form of motorsport's but should they all be deemed 'cheater's', I dont think so. If no team's try to 'push the envelope' in term's of innovation where would they be and how can they expect to progress in term's of on-track performance?
