Even less overtaking to be seen

Everything I post is my own opinion and I\'ll always try to back it up! :)

But don't the drivers have one set of soft tyres for the race, which would allow them to pass drivers still on hard tyres.?

If the harder tyres make it harder to drive the cars consistently fast lap after lap, then the margin for error is increased, and that, surely, ought to lead to overtaking opportunities.
And yes, when different drivers are using different tyre compounds throughout the races, that also ought to provide sufficient performane gains above others to facilitate some overtaking.Opinions are like ar5eholes, everyone has one.

But...
Even with the different tyres, I don´t see why we should see more overtaking.
I mean, at the beginning it could bring some overtaking, but when all the teams use the same strategy... bye bye overtaking. It´s like the fuel loads...Cuando el grajo vuela bajo hace un frío del carajo
Which means:
When the crow is flying low, it´s ****ing freezing cold

That's because the Top F1 drivers automatically assume they will be in the lead and that nobody will be able to catch them. :

Is it only my impression, but it seems as though as before every season there have been fears that we were going to see less overtaking, but all in all the number of manouvers made are still quite the same as it has been in previous years.

what's happening with slicks at all? i haven't heard anything about it lately? is it still being considered for the upcoming seasons or has it been basically ruled out?
