Cars are too long, heavy, and arguably too wide although this is exacerbated by the comically large tyres, which in turn kick up too much spray and more than cancel out their mechanical benefits with their ridiculous temperature sensitivity.
F1 seems hell-bent on the "bigger is better" mantra, so I very much doubt we will ever return to a time when the cars are inherently more raceable (i.e. the reverse of the traits mentioned in the first paragraph). F1 would basically have to backtrack 5-6 years worth of regulatory changes that supposedly "improved the show", and I highly doubt they will do this. Far too stubborn and set in their ways.
Maybe one day F1 will wake up and realise that we should've never taken the path of 900kg sport limos, but by that time it will be 10-15 years too late, having wasted our time and the vast majority of many a great driver's career.
