I am not suggesting it should happen, but just illustrating how rules can be used . Crossplies belong on historic racing cars but what I would like to see happen is tyres being made sufficiently robust to last a race . It would be a far better endorsement of a tyre company's products than the current nonsense -' buy our tyres - they are so good they are worn out in 15 minutes !' - and would avoid the absurdity of a sprint race , such as a Grand Prix , being decided by how effectively wheel guns are deployed .
F 1 is not a team sport, despite what some say , it is the driver who wins . So Porsche may win Le Mans, but Hamilton wins at Monaco and very few followers of the sport care two hoots about the constructor's championship- it is sometimes little more than a consolation prize.
