Regarding the bolded, however, as a admittedly low-level amateur, I am continually frustrated by the extreme delta between F1 qually times and race lap pace. I know it's a result of the current rules package; largely the no-refueling and battery charging impacts, but the current situation (tire mgt) results in the drivers running at significantly less than full-out battles for most of the race. How many times must we hear radio coms telling drivers to increase/decrease pace to a target. Flat-out should be the best way to a victory.

World Endurance can run near continuous hot (full capability) laps, as can IndyCar, MotoGP, and others. F1 needs to do better IMO.
Tire management is the problem, its always about tire management.
