My reaction to this was two parts;

Good: At least FOTA are considering us, the fans. Increasing the spectacle is a noble aim.

Bad: Another pointless downforce reduction which would probably be ineffective. If we were talking a 50% slash the designers are so clever it would probably end up being no more than 15%. Its all been done before, and thanks to the thread listing all the overtaking stats from '83, we can see how poor they have been in increasing on track action.
