Active suspension
Do you guys think Active Suspension will make a return in the next few years ?
Imagine what kind of technology can be put into production cars !
I sometimes dont understand why F1 has to handicap cool technological stuff like this.

Citroen had a car (Citroen Xantia Activa) in the end of 90s that had active suspension, the funny part is that it's still on top of a swedish car magazines "moose test" where they have to sverve around an object at max possible speed. 
Faster than 997 Gt2 or GT3RS for example

How it works.

Would be cool if it would make it to production cars again but don't see it really happening. Cost is onething but also complexity of the system.

That good of a driver?
Look at some of Ayrton Senna's videos. He was always finding traction where there was no traction. Most of his "straights" were actually quickly shakes of the steering wheel to get the best grip.
Some drivers have a bit more skill than others.
