Well, as they're reducing the engine size in the near future why don't they do away with the advanced aerodynamics so that they don't get this problem? Lets see the best drivers in cars that are a bit slower and loose!

Then driver skill would come into the equation more and we'll see some better racing.

Everytime they legislate to reduce the aerodynamics, the teams spend more money trying to claw back what they've lost, and end up producing cars that are even more sensitive aerodynamically, hence the inability to run close to the car in front and therefore the lack of overtaking.

Another point - do away with refueling. It's too easy for teams/drivers to rely on a better strategy or pitwork to make their moves - without pitstops the drivers would have to have a go at getting past a car in front...

Just my thoughts... or some of them...
