Take Formula Ford, no wings and they can follow and race very well. As you move up the single seater ladder the reliance on aero (specifically upper surface aero) makes it harder and harder to follow. By that rationale, if you were to not take off the F1 wings, but instead just shrink them massively, you would have cars that could follow much easier than what we have now.

Didn't they try this a few years ago, only to have drivers, team members and fans complain that the cars were too slow?
