I say enforce rules which ask for simpler front/rear wings, and of course, single diffusers. Also bring back the 2 metre wide tracks (pre-1998 wide cars) which offer better mechanical grip I believe.

Your basic idea is to reduce reliance on downforce and increase mechanical grip, rather than going for a more complex idea of having a nicer wake.

I think... :?

in terms of cost to the rear wings to save more?.
