Valve Bounce has been held in scrutiny for further testing
I like the present rule where cars are put into parc ferme after quals 2 to prevent the richer teams using qualifying engines. The whole thing became silly because none of teh richer teams could gain an advantage over the other, but it made for a very expensive charade to provide these more powerful but less reliable engines. I don't think this method of getting rid of qualifying engines has harmed F1 in any way, because if teams did develop engine problems during quals, the stewards permitted a change of engines anyway.
