If you looked at it as the regs FORCING the teams to remove some downforce, which would make for better racing with just an incidental benefit of the cars being more efficient, would that make it easier to stomach?
F1 used to be a place that tried all kinds of new technology. F1 has gotten so stuck that if we didn't have paddle shifters now and somebody tried to introduce them, they would be banned. Personally, I'm not in favor of paddle shifters, but they do represent the sort of technical development we used to see in F1.
