...in the grand scheme of things, it would take an F1 driver to notice any difference on the front end.
Spot on, imho, and could be said for many similar developments of cars. At the risk of thread drift, in my younger years I used to convince myself that the small incremental gains that manufacturers made, as they evolved (marketed) individual model lines, made a big difference to the way the car drove. Now I look back and think that the wiser money would have been spent on driver tuition rather than upgrading to the latest model.
