The quickest cheapest fix right now would be to raise the fuel delivery restrictions and maybe more fuel for the race load.

 

Don't know that that is actually true as it would mean an increase in the size of the fuel tank which would mean changes to the chassis / body / aero , and repackaging of the power units

 

How the modification would work:

"Any modifications would still have to comply with the restrictions that already govern engine development.
"Aimed at keeping costs down, these follow a formula that defines 92% of the engine as being open to development from the first season of the design to the second.
"From this, manufacturers choose a maximum of 48% they can develop.
"This 48% is split into 32 "tokens", assigned to parts of the engine depending on their influence on performance.
"Manufacturers would be able to implement their 32 development tokens throughout the year, rather than having to use all before the season starts.



50% of the time it works everytime

 

That's the existing format except they can use their tokens throughout the year
