Bottas: Drivers completely cruising because of tyre fears

Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas has claimed that Formula One drivers have been "completely crusing round", due to the tyre issues.

Blistering in the car's tyres is not a new issue at all for the sport, but this season, it has been even more evident - with numerous drivers complaining about the issue with their tyres.

Pirelli, the official tyre supplier for F1, introduced new softer compounds for the start of the current season, as well as the inclusion of hypersofts and Bottas is hoping that work is going on to try and solve the blistering problem.

"We have to do a lot of management at pretty much every race this season and especially at the last few there have been issues with the blistering," Bottas told Motorsport.com.
