Jenson Button has told F1 to encourage teams to find more mechanical grip.
The sport has been criticised for being too boring in recent seasons and attendance figures have fallen on TV and in the stands.
However, Button told AUTOSPORT that fans would respond if the cars became more difficult to drive.
The McLaren star said: "One of the big things is that the drivers need to enjoy driving the car.
"So when they get out with a smile on their face or get out and fall out of the car because it is physical and tough, I think the fans will love it.
"There is more overtaking now than 10 years ago and everyone is saying those are the best years in F1.
"So mechanical grip is the way you need to go about finding lap time, because it doesn't impact on following.
"In terms of aerodynamics, I guess most of it has to come from the diffuser, as that is the area which least affects the following car."
