What do you think of the FIA's design changes to aid overtaking this year


What do you think of the FIA's design changes to aid overtaking this year?
It seems all of the design changes, less overall down-force, smaller rear wings and return to slicks, not to mention KERS, really hasn't worked. I think the cars are better to watch now that over-steer and twitchy handling has returned but the whole point of the changes were to ease overtaking (don't worry I'm not basing this on Monaco!) and it clearly hasn't worked. I'm not looking for 20 passes per lap or anything silly, just a few more per race would do. So what design changes would you be in favour of to assist overtaking? I asked this Q yesterday, why has it taken 20hrs for it to show?? I want my money back, Oi FOYAA help me!

i hate it . this KERS for a start has WRECKED f1, it would be so much better without it. And it would be much closer racing. F1 should be more about the driver rather than the cars!

Completely and utterly pointless. The rule responsible for the hideous look of the F1 rear and front wings were supposed to help create more slipstreaming and hence more overtaking. This is why, when people like me first saw the cars and whinced at how ugly they were, we consoled ourselves by saying "well at least it'll mean more overtaking". But now it has become fairly obvious that it makes little or no difference to a car following behind another. In short, we have ended up with the worst looking F1 cars in history for NO good reason. As for KERS, totally contradicts what the FIA is now saying about cost cutting. KERS costs a lot of money to develop, at a time when teams are under pressure to reduce spending, and the advantages they offer are minimal at best. The fact that all the cars which have won a race this year have been non-KERS cars sums it up really.
