    The safety reasons are actually not a large part of the reason as I understand it. For example, I believe the engine and gearbox are separated by something like a 50cm spacer to make the wheelbase artificially longer. The more surface area to work with the more aero they can fit on the cars, which is I believe the primary reason they are so big these days.
