[Rules] Future Rule Changes

Lower costs, more entrants, more competition.

But that's a concept too hard to grasp.

It would seem that there is potential for at least 2 less entrants ( Ferrari & Merc) if the boards of those companies cannot see justification for putting their R&D budgets into F1. And if they go where do the power units come from?
I grasp the cost cutting concept you mention but it is still aiming at dumber slower cars.

That is exactly what F1 needs, to cut loose from the stranglehold these two manufacturers have on F1 and finally make a rule set that benefits the sport.

Longer braking distances through perhaps steel brake discs, a vast reduction in wake turbulence possibly through a greater use of ground effect, etc. ...
Having the cars designed AROUND the safety device, instead of plopping something on the existing designs like they have stubbornly done in the past.

There are a multitude of ways to improve the sport, but the only thing truly needed is that whoever is making those decisions decides to grow a pair and stand up to manufacturer extortion.
