If we see power increased with current levels of down force, we will quickly see the FIA putting in regulations to increase lap times to a safe level (groove tyres etc. Do you want grooved tyres?).
If we take lots of down force off with current power levels, we will see another great increase in lap times.
If we then remove power and downforce, we will be back to seventies type lap times!
F1 has definitely been slower, but I would doubt that it would get much faster. In fact, many believe that we left the ultimate F1 cars behind, back in 2004.
