Pingguest should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Without any downforce is too sober for Formula One, as the engines are simply too powerful. However, downforce seems to work like alcohol: having a bit is not an issue, but having too much makes you have an addiction.

How many more have to get knocked off before they realise they aren't a good idea?

Wider tyres is a good idea, wider cars is good, wider front wing, not so good.
Wider tires are no good. Instead, I would like to see narrower tires to reduce cornering speeds, brake ability and allowing a larger slip angle. It would certainly make drivers work harder.
