Just remove aero from the cars to a level like gp3 but allow unlimited mechanical grip development. Overtaking would be fine

Can you not think of a single negative thing about your idea?
i think it's funny somebody agrees that there doesnt need to be a fix for a problem that doesnt exist and then suggests a change.

Let's fix the inconsistent and seemingly arbitrary penalties issued (or not issued) for the similar offenses on different weekends. There's absolutely nothing wrong with qualifying, didn't we learn that lesson last year?

IMHO, qualifying and the standing starts should be enshrined forever.

Knockout qualifying as it is is thrilling most of the time, but I would let the teams start on new tires instead of using qualifying tires...

Standing starts is the epitome of the driver making the difference now that launch control is no longer a thing.
