I'm still bothered by the dumb looking wings that were introduced last year. These were deemed necessary because they were going to improve passing and close racing. Not that we know that was a complete failure, we still get these ugly wings. The wider front wings have certainly hurt the racing, because they're so easy to damage.
I realize that the new wings came from the "Overtaking Working Group" (failure), and that the double diffusers undid that whole idea. But despite knowing that, DDD's were allowed again this year. Why??
Also, the wider & lower front wings were introduced last year to improve front end traction. Now this year they go with narrower front tires. Seems like a contradiction and a lose-lose situation to me.
Seems like the effect of every change turns out to be the opposite of its intention, mistakes are not corrected or even learned from, and the racing suffers.
