I don't want to sound like a broken record but...
Set the regs so the cars can get close enough for wheel to wheel racing.
It's what the sport is about.
It's where the skill lies.
It's where the risk is.
If you want excitement you have to have close racing.
Well that simple. get rid of the Aero. look at GP2. Look at Formula E. very little Aero and cars can follow which leads to good racing. F1 though has decided to add more Aero.
I'm afraid F1 has gone down the route of being the pinnacle of engineering not driving. It has achieved that no doubt but it turns out that's not as exciting to watch on TV.
I'm sure Adrian Newy loves to watch races on repeat and is ecstatic watching the bits on the car.
