I find it interesting the acronym is FRIC, using the "c" in Interconnected to produce the ending c.
As long as these systems are Kinetic Energy Negligible, I would say they're within the limitations of the regs. Of course, they would have to rename them the FRICKEN systems.
To: Chode
Very interesting, indeed. Forgive my ignorance on this front, but are not these cars inspected by officials at some point before race season begins? This seems like an expensive replacement of the suspension for the teams. And at this point in the season? Or is it something some teams may have sneaked in at some point?

yes they are inspected, but if you don't know what you are looking at/looking for, or what you are looking at is more than you think it is, it becomes a grey area... 8^)
and untill they are caught, the teams don't look at the specs as rules,

i’ll believe it when i see it...
Mexico set to return to F1® calendar in 2015
http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2014/7/16138.html
Mexico is set to host a round of the 2015 FIA Formula One World Championship, Formula One group CEO Bernie Ecclestone confirmed on Wednesday.
The race, the first Grand Prix to be held in Mexico for more than two decades, will be run at the 4.421-kilometre Mexico City circuit.
“I’m happy to announce we’ve concluded an agreement to have a race in 2015,” said Ecclestone. “Don’t miss this race!”
Mexico City first hosted F1 racing in 1963 and was a permanent fixture for the next seven years. It then returned to the calendar in 1986 and hosted a further six Grands Prix, the last of which was won by Williams’ Nigel Mansell in 1992.
Tavo Hellmund, who helped bring the United States Grand Prix to Austin and is a co-founding partner of the 2015 Formula 1 Gran Premio de Mexico, said he was delighted that negotiations had proved successful.
“Ever since Bernie and I began working on a race at Austin, it’s been a dream of mine to help Formula One return to Mexico,” said Hellmund.
“This announcement has therefore been years in the making, but we’ve gradually been able to assemble all the right pieces. I’m absolutely delighted.”
Two Mexican drivers currently compete in F1 racing: Force Indias Sergio Perez, who scored a podium earlier this year in Bahrain, and Sauber’s Esteban Gutierrez.
Mexico’s return to the F1 calendar remains subject to final negotiations.
