If there were no rules does anyone know if it would make sense to remove the driver and make it remote-controlled? Would lag in something so high end as f1 be a factor (what is the minimum lag that can be achieved, money almost no object)? The car could be way lighter, with much better weight distribution, etc. Only downside I can think of is lag, plus having extra motors to power the steering, pedals, etc, but that would be almost negligible, I think? Oh, and the reliability of the signals being transmitted/received.
In December 2003 there was an article on a f1 magazine where they asked Williams to design a car if there were no rules. It was an ugly (maybe it would look better after a while, don't know), six wheeled thing, but it looked more playsible than this one, which just seems made to look cool, like a vide-game sports car, or a commercial one.
edit: forgot to say I don't have links for the pdf, and couldn't find it via google. It used to be on the web somewhere.
