Poor F1 drivers will actually have to drive now

Felipe Massa says the new harder Bridgestone F1 tires make it harder to drive the cars now. Rather than being on rails, the drivers will actually have to use their talent. What a novel idea!

"The driving changes: there's less grip, the tires are harder and the car tends to slide," the Brazilian told Gazzetta dello Sport. "The braking distance got longer, you need to drive more smoothly because it's easier to lose the back or locking the front tires.

"You can't be aggressive in the turns. This won't help overtaking. There will be even less grip in the slipstream."
