Tweel may not go flat, but what happens when you break a spoke? There's always a mode of failure, and there are reasons the tweel never caught on.
Interesting looking concepts in the video. Emphasis on the "looking" bit. Not sure what the advantage would be of the "extreme cornering" thing.
Other thing to ask is even if it were to come to fruition, would F1 adopt it? I feel like F1 has never been cutting edge of technology. Slow to adapt fuel injection and radial tires.. still no direct injection, no traction control, no AWD, etc etc.
Grip is a four letter word. All opinions are my own and not those of current or previous employers.
