If you’re like me and you have been watching F1 for the better part of your life, then you also have been mourning the loss of the “slick” tire since the inception of Max’s speed reducing grooved tires. Well the slicks are back for testing at Jerez and what a wonderful sight to see. Nick Heidfeld took top position on slicks. Not to take away anything from Nick or BMW but obviously the slicks have some serious grip. Here’s hoping the test will usher the permanent return of slicks soon.
