Re the banning of traction compounds, do you think it would take long for tire companies to develop stickier tires? In full size F1 they keep trying to slow the cars down, but it doesn't take them long to get back up to speed.

I agree 100%....what is that overused saying....necessity is the mother of all invention...and I would add that change is always a business opportunity.
