Exactly. The current level of race car development knowledge and technology would probably result in cars that are completely beyond the limits of human physical capabilites if F1 was completely unrestricted. It's just like with current military aircraft development - designers are completely capable of building an aircraft that can sustain 10+G's in a high-speed turn without falling apart, but a human pilot is incapable of withstanding those kinds of forces.
