Thats easy, ban refuelling and limit tank size, much safer for everyone and theres no boring strategic pit stops to win the race for you, its driver skill...
Double (approx) the size of the current fuel tank to take away the need of refueling during the pitstop. So if re-fueling were to become unnecessary, pit stops would still be needed for tire changes.
(1 set of tires per race will most likely not be coming back any time soon, IMO.)
Increasing the size of the fuel tank would affect many other areas of the car, especially surrounding the engine, and/or the engine cover.
But how would this specific change be "much safer for everyone"?
Are you referring to the actual process of re-fueling? For example the accidental mishaps with Schumacher a few years back, F.Massa earlier this season, as well as with the Spyker driver dragging the entire fuel hoses down the pitlane.
Something I would like to see as well would be a variety of engine configurations. Each team choosing what suits their style, or preference the best. From T I-4, to V10's roaring through the track at the same time, simply wonderful.
