Formula 1's Ross Brawn is hopeful that the new rules revolution, set to take place in 2021, will mean that the drag reduction system (DRS) will no longer be needed.
DRS was introduced in 2011 as a quick fix to increase overtaking and has remained a part of the sport ever since, but fans have criticised the system as being artificial and making some overtakes too easy.
Brawn isn't a fan and whilst he admitted it would stay around for the 'near future', he hopes to ditch it eventually.
"My hope is that the cars will develop to the point that we don't need it [DRS] anymore, but in the near future that will not happen," he told Business Life.
Brawn is working on a new set of aerodynamic and engine regulations for 2021 with the help of a team of experts which he hopes will boost overtaking naturally and improve the spectacle, but admitted it's not an easy task and there would likely be trade-offs in certain areas.
"Before we can improve the racing, we need to thoroughly understand what's going on," he added. "We can follow our gut instinct, but that's not good enough when you think about how incredibly complicated these cars are.
"Speed plays an important role and the fans want to see the fastest cars, but if we see a way to make the racing better, then I would be willing to sacrifice some speed."
