As I mentioned in the Toyota topic, there already is a discussion dedicated to this topic: Peugeot 908 secret=Ferrari F1's J-Damper. |
What I've read on the nature of RRH systems suggests that the use of a fluid inerter is far from unrelated. Given that the technical bulletins involved are not public it is difficult to know for sure, but surely the type of reactive systems the FIA is talking about include hydraulically linked suspensions and fluid inerters used to adjust ride height (pitch) under braking. That means that while the inerter itself might not be banned, the system it was designed for/along with is. Anyway, this is straying off the topic of inerters in P1s...
