There is no such thing as "aero loads it beyond its grip level ". Aero may load a tire beyond its load bearing capabilities but it cannot affect grip level in a negative manner. For a long time I have wondered what would happen if they could make the aero load unsprung. You know, push down on the tires but not the whole car, so the suspension could work at doing what it is meant to do instead of handling all that induced load.
Colin Chapman built a car that I think did just that. The FIA banned it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_88

$500 to $1000? Is that what a normal motorcycle or amateur racing helmet costs these days? I haven't bought one for a long time, though way back you could buy an open-face Buco for about $30 or a Bell Star for around $100 or a little less. The most I remember paying is maybe $150-$175 for a nice Shoei. That thing literally saved my life. I thought I read somewhere several years ago that F1 helmets go for $20k or more. Kind of a vague memory, so who knows?
BTW, does anybody else remember that old Bell advertisement "If your head is worth $30, buy a helmet. If your head is worth more, buy a Bell"? The guy from Arai helmets said that a fully painted F1 helmet was about $15k. Of course, once they are owned by a driver they are worth more!

Reducing braking distance by 22% isn't a good thing for the show. There is too much grip in the current cars, mostly due to too much downforce, but also due to tires being to effective.

If braking distance was 100 feet 10 years ago - it would be 78 feet today. With deceleration being 12% quicker there is less time available to make a move in the braking zone that is shorter.

LOL. One of my FSAE children made the Infiniti Academy Canada finals. Didn't win though.

No 'Gardening Leave' before assuming duties? Probably six months, which means he will start with Renault in January.

RedBull(Newey)-Porsche, my dream come true. What both Honda and Porsche should be wary of is Newey making the same kind of packaging demands that created the troubles at McLaren in the first place.

I think Porsche can handle that, Barnard made some pretty strict demands on the TAG-Porsche unit and they came though, in fact that set the tone for how engines are packaged to this day. Honda i'm not so sure about, nor do I think they'd be too happy to knowingly be used as a place holder.
