Gentleman. I hate to rain on this parade but the FIA has negated any hope of substantial technological developement in F1. Oh, there will be the little gain in this or that piece but earth shattering innovation like ground effects are long a thing of the past.
The racetracks have been modified to the point, some of them are a meer shadows of their former selves.
FIA has had to clamp down on technology so the racetracks can cope with the speed of the cars and it's only going to get worse because the designers just keep figuring out ways to make the cars as fast or faster than the last set of rules designed to slow them down.
Come on!!! They race on narrowed/treaded tires for crying out loud. They've narrowed the track, they've shortened the diffuser, they've raised the front wing. What goes next, the wings themselves?
