Bring back side skirts and make Mechanical grip paramount. Find a way to lessen the amount of downforce on the cars, make them harder to drive, where drivers are not taking every corner flat due to downforce,make playing with the throttle relevant again. Free innovation, engine development etc as long as it is within €75million within a 12 month period. Tyres that degrade but don’t fall off enough that a driver has to drive to a set delta, this is where a tyre war should come in.
A lot of the races in Europe have tradition over the new modern circuits a little else.
The old Hockenheimring had “Character” as it was a unique layout on the calendar, similar to Monza nowadays. Most european F1 circuits are pretty ordinary Silverstone apart from the Maggots Beckets sequence of corners is a pretty ordinary circuit old or new.
France I feel is one of maybe 4 countries that deserves a race, while Magny-Cours is pretty mundane it served a purpose in hosting the French gp. A circuit located on the outskirts of Paris as suggested a few years ago would turn the french gp into one of the best attended (120k) and a highlight on the calendar.Europe, apart from Austria which is coming back does not need anymore races, especially if F1 is limited to 20 races a year. I would much rather have a Mexico gp, New Jersey and South Africa and Possibly Thailand before another european round.
