F1 going slick

Cost reduction is everywhere. Honda was forced to drop out, and in continuing response to escalating costs F1 is responding. One of the changes that I think will be interesting will be the return to slick tyres. Although I must say - I do like seeing the grooves on the tyres, curious to see how they let us know hard vs. soft for the "topic of discussion" to remain just that.

There are a lot of other proposals coming as well, same engines, same transmissions, etc. to go along with the same tyres, they now all run. I fear that we may be headed for an IROC series - how uncool would that be.

Well this season was good - let's hope the future ones will be as well.
