F1 has no more and no less relevance to road cars than at any stage in the past 50 years. Whilst technology has filtered down, that does not in itself imply relevance. Stuff has filtered down to road cars from the Space Shuttle programme, but nobody felt the shuttle programme was relevant to road cars.
F1 should NOT be about road relevancy in terms of regulation or intention. If stuff does filter down (or the other way!) then that should be a bonus.
