Why can’t it just be all assisted and allow for much easier operation?

In addition to what other people have said: F1 has very specific rules on what parts and equipment cars can use. When I say *specific* I really mean it. The F1 technical rules is 183 pages. You want to read a rule set that gets hyper technical and pedantic. Read the F1 rules and then try to figure out how people previously tried to game these rules (which led to rules being written how they written).

As an example: I draw your attention to rule 11.1.3 (From the FIA 2023 rule book. Find it on Google):

**11.1.3 Any powered device, other than the system referred to in Article 11.6, which is capable of altering the configuration or affecting the performance of any part of the brake system is forbidden.**
Also be ready to read sections 11.4 and 11.6 and be ready to thread that needle.
