I'd love to see them big, fat slicks make a comeback.

Ferrari tests GP2 tyres

What we need in F1 is less reliance on aerodynamic aids and less grip in the corners.
So thinner tyres and smaller wings. We'll get more overtaking then and more drifting in the corners.
Personally I'd like to see a change to diesel engines, fourwheel drive and reduced tyre size. Clearly I'm only half serious about that though

Possibly but F1 is the pinnacle of automotive technology. If you remove that then you end up with people driving around in fast tractors, like Nascar
.I think they should be pushing these vehicles in a green direction too, but I've heard noises to that effect so maybe that will happen. Making a car last a whole race on the fuel load might help perhaps.

I heard they are pushing the green issue tbh http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/5253748.stm , including systems such as energy recovery and re-use.
What the racing needs, tho', is a way for the drivers to get close enough to each other for them to be able to overtake. At the moment, there's always a point where the cars lose grip if they get too close due to disturbed airflow.

Then 2008 is what your waiting for, can't wait myself.
More overtaking = happy fans. So, if the slicks will help with that (in conjunction with reduced aero) they've got my vote!
