Even if the new tanking rules are not yet in place, saying that “the teams still don’t stay within the limit” is clearly not true. All teams currently have less than 50M.

Yes, it looks like the increased tyre wear was a failure, because the change was not big enough and with the additional tyres, it did not make setting up the car harder as intended. But that is something that can be changed very easily. DebiK can adjust the tyre wear and tyre allocation in a matter of minutes.

“There are at most 10 people in the game who really understand what needs to be done and how to do it.”

That is also clearly not true. I could name you a lot more than 10 managers who understand what needs to be done and how to do it.

“All the recent changes, starting with the addition of driver skills, have completely destroyed any competition. The guys who used to fight for titles and win in F1 are now just at the bottom.”

Can you name me a few examples? The only reason why a good manager would suddenly become bad is their inactivity. However, without special skills it was way too easy to max-out a driver, so there were more competitive drivers indeed. However, I think it's better that people have a chance to make a difference and not be limited by the system. I actually think driver development is still too easy. All drivers should have strengths and weaknesses, but for that you must make it impossible to max-out a driver, and you also must make all skills relevant, so people need to make strategic choices.“Team leaders need to start talking and reaching agreements. There is a special chat on the F1 page where we should put forward proposals, discuss them…”

And yet you decided to post this as a press release rather than a forum post, where team shareholders could actually discuss these proposals and work towards a common position.
