Haven't F1 been running on all manner of rules to put the driving more on the driver and less on the electronics?

  That was the theme around 20+ years ago, and they have continued to change rules to emphasize individual driving ability (e.g. restrictions on team orders, although those are de-facto gone, restrictions on engineer-driver communication during the race, etc.), but it's still very much a team sport. Unlike many other major series, especially those in the US, each team is required to build it's own chassis - so other than components like engines that have relatively few suppliers, everything from the ground up may be tweaked with tiny engineering problems and the various solutions being critical to results. Like the parent post, THAT'S what I love about F1.
