Just read this http://www.autosport...t.php/id/117368
"One avenue under consideration increasing the width of the tyres - which would help improve grip through corners and potentially allow drivers to push harder."
"Although F1 chiefs are hoping to begin making changes to the cars - such an increasing downforce and tweaking bodywork designs - as early as next year, Hembery thinks a tyre change could only come for the season after."
Didn't they change the regulations because there was too much downforce? That they wanted to make the drivers do more work? That cars should slide and skill should come back into play? So after all the $$$ and energy spent on achieving that, they are now considering reverting to the old formula?
Sometimes it seems like the powers that be in F1 really have no freaking clue what they or the viewing masses really want.
