I don't agree. Downforce is considerable, try running without a body.
IMO lower downforce bodies and softer tyres would be better. More consistent grip from low to high speed, more grip off the racing line making it easier to pass leading to better racing.
The current bodies are also fragile in the context that minor damage has a significant impact on performance.
The trade off is softer tyres wont last as long.
