Back in the old days active suspension was invented for one prime reason, to keep the car in a static state relative to the road surface so the aero worked at its maximum efficiency. This was during the era of sliding skirts and Alan Jones retired because the cars were so stiff it was affecting the drivers causing back problems etc. These days it would most probably be cheaper to allow it rather than use all the work arounds they do at the moment to try and keep the car level. It will be interesting next year because at the moment the high profile tyres form part of the suspension but with low profile tyres they will have to have working suspension or put the seats on suspension systems because the drivers will have major issues if the cars are rock hard on low profile tyres.
