Indeed it’s mostly for safety, active aero is difficult to keep in check as demonstrated by this static rule bending years. F1 is a part of technology advancements but just as space it should be done in a safely manner.

Didn't they have to program it in assembly to make it fit into the storage they had available? I'mlimitedbythetechnologyofmytime.gif
