Formula 1

What can be done to make it brilliant again, like it was in the 1980s?
The main problem today is the turbulent air behind the car. It's not the same any more IIRC (don't ask me the details :-D). Basically, it's much harder to overtake from the slipstream nowadays, thus DRS was invented. And it's dull.
I think they should get rid of all the driver aids such as the aided clutch control on the starting grid, change the rules to hinder aerodynamic progress, allow tyre manufacturers to compete with one another, have a limit on fuel tank sizes that makes refuelling necessary, and have a gearbox and clutch that are not controls like on a computer game!

In addition, allocation of prize money needs to be tightened and made fairer, and the points system returned to 9, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1...
