Can't say I agree with this one, the tactical decisions on two stops, three stops etc can make a boring race interesting.

return to slick tyres with wider rear tyres, tyre companies should be tyres that can last 70% of race before being changed

As I pointed out above, the grooved tyres were introduced in an attempt to slow cars down (ok, it didn't exactly work, but it stopped them going faster sooner!). I do think the tyres should have greater longevity.

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.

Sorry, but all this will mean is that teams have to spend *more* money on physical testing which will disadvantage the smaller teams.

After each session at a GP you can't see the drivers because they are always reviewing this data

Or they're shmoozing with the Corporate Sponsors.

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

I think the aero/ downforce rules need modifying because the "dirty air" cars leave behind them stops other cars slipstreaming so much and thus helping them pass when they get a "tow" along a straight, but downforce is also there for safety.

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

Again I think this will mean *more* testing as they try to find an optimal layout that will cover eg the next four races.

ban tyre warmers

No, this is not a good idea without a fundamental redesign of cars. It was tyres cooling off (and thus changing the amount of grip) which was the cause of Ayrton Senna's death.

qualifying to return to 1 hour session with unlimited laps

Not unlimited, but I think the 12 lap system worked quite well, although I'd make the *fastest* teams go out first!

wind tunnel time to be equal to that which the team with the smallest budget can afford

A nice idea, but the rich teams would then shift to eg expensive computer modelling techniques that the small teams couldn't afford.

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

That I can agree with.

rule book to be more open to allow for different looking cars

But this will, again, just advantage the rich teams who can spend more money/ time on experimenting with different set-ups even with a budget cap.

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

How does that square with the previous point of the rulebook being more open, though?

sequential gear box used via a convential geat stick. 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

I don't agree with these one and frankly I think this sort of thing should be introduced into more ordinary road cars, eg it's really not necessary to have a manual gear shift on the floor any more.

But that's not the fault of refuelling, that's the fault of the tracks. IMO we need to ditch or fundamentally redesign many of the old tracks (and especially get rid of Monaco which is a joke) and introduce more like Bahrain and Shanghai with multiple passing places.

The problem with ground effect was that it would literally clamp the car to the track. It meant you could corner like you were on rails, but also reduced manoeuvrability at the same time.
