I'm with you, Peter, however easier to drive is a relative matter.
This is why it is impossible to truly compare drivers from different eras, because each generation of car tends to be different and they require different skill sets to be able to drive them quickly.
Although a slight exaggeration, today's drivers need to have dextrous digits to manipulate numerous buttons, whilst drivers of old had to be able to drive a car on it's limits on tyres that had very little adhesion with relatively primitive, certainly compared to today's, suspension. They also required the skills to judge when best to manually change gear and how to balance brakes and throttles that were controlled by human input rather than being computer aided.
And so on and so forth.
