ok maybe steel not the solution, but get rid of carbon/carbon and maybe have steel/ceramic.

Unfortunately the FIA does tend to over-react when one team dominates - when Williams dominated in 1992-3 they responded by bringing in in-race refuelling. When Schumacher dominated in 2002 the responded by ruining the points system and began changing the qualifying format every 12 months. You're dead right - when one person or team dominates it doesn't mean the sport has failed and needs improving, its means their rivals have failed and need improving.
