Let's just get back to the driver and their race engineer finessing the car during free practice. I would also have a spec tyre for free practice only that is not used in the race so the teams don't collect tyre data and then simulate that before qualifying and the race. We need a few more variables IMO. I would even bring in a spec qualifying tyre to bring in a certain control factor into Q, this would also see the driver start the race on tyres that they have not run on before at the weekend at all.

Apologies for straying OT!
to make that even more workable the damn things need to be cheaper to run as well and on-track testing expanded. they all employ a second team of spanners already, it’s not as if the staffing requirements would go up. i have absolutely no idea how to make that more achievable though!
