I've also read that the rev limit (IMO another stupid rule) has hurt Renault big time because they were relying on higher revs than Ferrari to get the power.
Unfortunately theres not that dynamic in F1 anymore. They should definitely drop the engine freeze.

I don't know about Renault, but BMW were having the highest revving engines and certainly lost too.
The ones who won most from the rev limiting rule were Mercedes, who were not able to make a high revving engine that wouldn't detonate at one moment or another during the race week ends.
