FIA tryin to reduce speeds
I think it is a legitimate concern for safety. With cars reducing lap times almost 1 second and more each season, it is a safety concern that warrants attention.
I believe the first thing to do is to get rid of the tire war and have one spec tire that has been tested by each team prior to the season and let the teams design their chassis to that tire. This would level the playing field on the tire front.
The next thing is to drastically reduce the downforce on the cars. This would open up passing opportunities in areas of a track that never see passing. A trailing car can not stay close to the preceeding car on high speed turns because it depends completely on downforce and it needs clean air.
If the FIA did these two things I would be very happy and the racing would be very fun to watch. It would even be more exciting than it is now because with minimum downforce the cars will be dancing around more and it will require more driver input which will lead to driver slipups which will lead to more overtaking.
