With no wing sliders, shock adjusters, or pit stops the setup was not the best for the whole race and the adjustments were the driver's talent.

Bingo! 49 your post nailed it. With all of things you mentioned about the cars. In my opinion, which is not usually shared by many, the technology has surpassed the potential of the cars. Less downforce, harder tires, and less horsepower would bring the element of driver talent more to the forefront.
