And this from 1962 is remarkable.

i don’t care about the tyre thing. If it lets the FIA bring in standardised active suspension as mooted I’d be fine with it. Helping the little guys and stopping a whole area of aero-pretending/
The wheels / tyres are part of the whole push to be more relevant to road cars which I’m not sure suits F1 but may attract more manufacturers (although they seem to be heading towards Formula E already so it may be too little too late)

As I recall, the limits on engines and gearboxes was brought in to reduce costs. In practice, I wonder how much money it actually saves? I would have thought that most of the cost goes into the R&D rather than manufacturing.
With regard to the larger low profile tyres, apparently this was something on which Michelin were insisting last time the tyre contract was up for renewal (the big bouncy 13” tyres are pretty unique to F1). I imagine the teams aren’t keen as it would require a significant suspension redesign.

A major part of the problem is that he's been protected through those four years, not only by Red Bull but also by the race stewards. He's been allowed to get away with driving standards that would have got other drivers a hefty haul of penalty points, while Red Bull have kept silent during the races while he indulges himself in aggressive driving against his own teammate.
The longer people are allowed to get away with bad behaviour without sanction, the more difficult it becomes to correct it. I fear it's already too late for Max to learn.

Max is young enough to turn things around.
