This situation is, in part, created by the need to preserve the cars due to the limitations on how many engines and gearboxes and whatever else the teams are allowed. If there were no limitations then they wouldn't need to nurse the cars home so much (although tyre wear was a factor in the race as well for the Red Bulls).
Obviously, going back to unlimited replacement engines etc raises the cost of running a team/gives those with limitless budgets the upper hand.
