Having slated the Bernie's solution, what alternative would I propose? Well the problem that Bernie is trying to address is that with the current points system and Max's push for endurance components, the teams and championship winning drivers have focused on reliability.
There are two very simple solutions to this, both of which used to be part of the F1. Only count a drivers best results, instead of all of them, and only require components to last a single race. With this combination reliability will become less of a concern if, for example, a team could suffer two or three DNF's without penalty. Likewise drivers would be more likely to push for the highest places they could achieve if it did not matter if they broke the car or crashed out a couple of times each year.
No gimmicks or artificial overtaking added in to the racing, just a readjustment of the rules to turn F1 back into a sprint rather than an endurance race.
