Unfortunately, most of this discussion has, so far, been discussed in a McLaren thread.
So I thought I would open this discussion up to all comers.
Basically, one school of thought appears to claim a whole raft of innovations have come to the passenger car industry as a direct result of F1.
Then, another school of thought, of which I am unashamedly a member, claim that the motor industry would be just as well off if F1 never existed.
So, I ask all our forumers to consider where our passenger cars would be if F1 never existed, and if our passenger cars would have been much the lessor.
Of course, I look at my Volvo Cross Country, and I am satisfied that it has many features which make me comfortable and safe without F1's influence. Like Side impact system, great A/C, sound system, safety air bag curtain, memory seat position with heated seats, leather upholstry, radial tyres, pastic bumpers, bixenon headlights, heated rear window, windscreen washers, wipers on my headlights, great rust prevention coating, sliding roof, factory tow bar and ski rack, booster children seats, AWD, ..........I could go on forever.
So, what about your car? whre has F1 contributed to the extent that it would have been untennable if F1 never existed?

So, what do you think?
