Mosley's latest 'future of F1' discussion includes the following suggestions:
I think a 90% decrease in downforce would liven things up a little 
Mosley has issued a discussion document with a series of proposals for regulations in 2008, the year after the contracts binding most teams to F1 expire.
His ideas include:
Independent teams to be allowed to purchase "complete cars, or any part of a car, from another constructor" - intended to save smaller teams huge amounts in design and development.
A return to manual gearboxes and a total ban on traction control, to put greater emphasis on the driver. Gearboxes would be standardised.
Aerodynamic downforce to be cut by 90%.
Limitations on electronics, with the use of standard FIA-approved software.
A single tyre manufacturer

.... and miss the last episode of Doctor Who?!!! 
Must admit I didn't see that post Gaz ...was out being a social butterfly instead of a S2K keyboard potato
Back to the original question tho .... given non-exploding Michelins and reliability, I don't think that we can rule Kimi out at all at the minute - he's a man on a mission.
Were the Fezzas ultra-fat with fuel tho??
