i think they want to reduce speed in general no matter if it's corner speed or straight line speed. Changing rear wing could make teams become less dependent on aerodynamic (straight-line performance) and more innovation about suspension designs (cornering speed).
Imagine if the car rely on so much aero down-force that if any parts are damaged the whole car will flip into the air if the wind was blowing in the wrong way.
I always want to know what kind of contribution they have to the auto-industry in general. I wonder if they can start making more innovation that can translate into road-car application such as braking and engine designs. that way they can spend time and money designing stuff that we can enjoy also.
For example, i suggest they band the use of carbon brakes and start using other materials that can also have street application. That way they would need more braking distance and more chance of error for the less skilled drivers, it's pretty much an extension of what they were trying to achieve with the groove tire, one of their reason was it increase breaking distance compare to slicks.
In addition, since they are spending millions of dollars developing new technologies anyway, might as well make sure they're developing something we common people can use everyday. Remember for those people who are not fan of the sport they don't see why these millions are well spend, i say we make sure these millions they spend are also going to benefit society as a whole.
