An interesting question but what is meant by fix? If the aim is to ensure whole of the field in racing for first place it won't happen, never has and never will. I want more basics and get rid of the huge resources of engineering that is evident on the pit walls, if they don't have that then they can't spend the money.
Limit how far forward the front wing of two elements can be. At the moment they are pushing the front wings out as far as they can to load the front axle more thus we get metronomic performance which is absolutely predictable.
Limit the engineering resources at the track, no data comms back to base at all from the track, two screens on the pit wall, one for the chassis and one for the PU, how much did they just save by doing that? If they can't manage it they can't run it and watch cars become far simpler.
No car to pit data logging at all. That way the driver can't be coached from the pit wall.
Stock block V8 of 4 litres, one turbocharger.
Pump fuel from a local servo, its only a road V8 fer god's sake not a moon rocket.
The budget problem is now solved. You know of course that the same teams will be roughly where they are now in the pecking order as talent always wins in motor sport. It surprises me that anyone thinks that the new coming regulations are going to change the pecking order because it won't happen. It might have happened years ago but not now.
By reducing the numbers of engineering personnel the lower end teams have a chance of picking up engineers who have a better chance of designing quicker cars as well which is a good thing.
