Slick Tyres To Return To Formula One?

Formula One’s Technical Working Group is said to be considering allowing slick tyres to make a comeback in the race series. Grooved tyres were introduced in an attempt to slow cars down, but lap records continue to be broken and, it is argued, the net effect was to make overtaking harder, as drivers felt they had less stability and grip. Formula One has seen a fall in TV viewing figures and the Technical Working Group is exploring ways of making the races more exciting.
