It will only be relevant if it increases braking distances by 50+ metres and the tyres are harder to 'read'. Then it may make a difference to passing opportunities but until then....
Brundles recent comments about driving a current car in the wet (he couldn't believe how much grip the car had) indicate that we are in an age where the technology has taken over and the whole nature of 'race driving' has changed.
F1's 'golden era' has passed and without a reversion to a formula that puts the emphsis back on the driver we will not see such an age again. As long as F1 remains as a 'technology' based formula the driver will be secondary to the engineering.
