Following a discussion here, a WI I've considered before.

So, POD end of WW2. What would it take to prevent the rise of wings in F1? And how could racing be made fast & safe even without them?

IMO, engine displacement limits (say, 2 liter, unblown; 500-600cc blown; 750cc rotary unblown; 200cc rotary blown), fuel capacity limits (150 l?), a ban on pit stops, & rear rim-width limits (10in?) would be a good start. A flat ban on wings from the start, in the initial F1 regs, would be good.

Any other thoughts?
