I won't pretend to understand what will help, so any reasonable suggestion is a good one. For F1 in particular, it's infrequent to see the guy leading at turn 1 not win the race. That's a problem.
The problem is basically F1 in a nutshell. It's always been like that.
Also the cars are so downforce dependent that when a faster car approaches a slower one, it gets into disturbed "dirty" air and the downforce decreases. The faster car loses grip and begins excessively wearing its tires down and it can't pass. Think of the trains of cars stuck behind a talentless hack like Lance Stroll.
When you introduce the Drag Reduction System (DRS) then the faster car is allowed to reduce it's drag in a straight line giving it a temporary performance advantage.
If you reduce the overall dependence on downforce then cars won't be so unstable running close to each other making overtaking more possible.
