  • The running of the 3rd to be given to a 'junior team" with their own livery, sponsorship etc....
  • a Junior Team and Drivers Championship....

Cars
  • Diversity (look at LMP1 a few years ago, diesel, petrol, 2WD, 4WD, hybrids of both)....
  • Push to Pass (handicapped based on current standings i.e. Lewis gets less than Lance)....

Drivers
  • All drivers must score at least 20 points over per season or face losing their F1 Superlicence....
  • Look beyond F2 and other single seaters for incoming drivers....

I reckon with this in place we would have the new drivers entering in more competitive cars (can you imagine if Leclerc was in a 3rd Ferrari?). We'd probably need Red Bull to take one for the team and reduce Toro Rosso to a 1 car junior team.

We could also have other teams potentially come and "have a go" at F1 running the 3rd car without having to make the leap of becoming a constructor (888 Australia or Joest Sport for example).
Open the book and go back to the '70s.
