As I understand it, one can repair issues that have arisen from unforeseen causes, not from a deliberate policy of under-engineering.

So one cannot fit a set of 'qualifying brakes' that can only last qualifying before needing to be changed, as one could in the past fit a qualifying engine and qualifying tyres, both of which were removed at the end of qualifying and replaced with the more enduring race model.

So if, for example, a cooling duct has been obstructed and a risk exists of a catastrophic failure as a result of overheating, does one change the offending / offended part and give the spectators the race that they have paid for or does one show them Vettel, Button etc sitting in the pitlane and starting with a 20 second handicap because a bit of paper caused the Kers to overheat?

Remembering that the idea of Formula 1 is entertainment first, racing second. Hence the complaints being made about the lack of qualifying in the qualifying period, even though the tyre saving strategy may mean one wins a race.
