No, different teams on different strategies makes the race interesting

return to slick tyres with wider rear tyres, tyre companies should be tyres that can last 70% of race before being changed
Grooved tyres were introduced to slow the cars down, if the go back to slicks they will have to slow them down some other way.

IMO there should only be one tyre supplier.

ban all the sensors on the car, without these the electronics can't sense what is going on and react to it. Also has several knock on effects. Most of the testing is done to get data from these sensors. If they aren't there the purpose of testing is reduce. After each session at a GP you can't see the drivers because they are always reviewing this data
All driving aids should be removed, but I don't see the point in removing all telemetry.

Quote:
Cars to use the same aero profile for each race. i.e no sticking on of extra parts for high downforce tracks.. force the drivers to adapt to each circuit
aero changes to the cars allowed at only 3 points of the season,, if they can't change each race there will be less need to test
I don't see the point in that
Quote:
ban tyre warmers
Great idea if you 1st corner smashes every race.

Quote:
each day of the GP weekend to include a 1 hour signing session with fans, also teams should run free open days for the F1 fans once a year either at end or start of season
All teams could use a bit more PR
Quote:
qualifying to return to 1 hour session with unlimited laps
I thought the 12 lap system was adequate

Quote:
V8, V10 or V12 engines with differing tank sizes
any engine configuration should be allowable as long as the capacity is the same.

Tank sizes should be the same.

Quote:
teams allowed to sell parts to other teams i.e customer chassis to encourage more teams to enter
But then you may get smaller teams bowing to the larger teams eg Sauber - Ferrari

Quote:
wind tunnel time to be equal to that which the team with the smallest budget can afford
I agree there should be a limit on testing in wind tunnels

Quote:
accounts to be submitted to the FIA, FIA to be able to introduce a budget cap either overall or in certain areas e.g testing, wind tunnel etc
rule book to be more open to allow for different looking cars
car developments to be submitted to FIA before development, teams shouldn't waste money designing and testing parts that then get banned because another top team doesn't have it
There should be a limit on money spent on development

Quote:
sequential gear box used via a convential geat stick
I don't have problem with paddle shift as long as it is manual and not automatic

Quote:
ban on fly bay wire throttles, if it isn't an electronic signal then it can't be changed
ban on electronics, see sensors rule above
Agreed all driving aids should be banned
