F1 didn't slow down because the TIRES didn't work, the MOTORS were too fast.
21.5 and 2s is a ton of rip for a car that weighs 1050g. If anything, the tires worked too well. Lifting tires and traction rolling were the main issues, because people were trying to go too fast into a corner, with too much grip.
For perspective, I have also run an old HPI Super F1 on pan car foams with a 2s and a 10.5. Foams did not exactly tame that combination.
