    Guess we all rather bash FM or read about Max's curious taste in talent :)

    I read this earlier today but have not had time to post. This sort of thing is far more interesting to me than what Sennawhoever is saying about Massa today or what kind of sex some dirty old man likes. Glad to see some else still prefers actual racing to drama and arguing.

    “The lack of traction control does not mean that Formula One suddenly looks like a drifting championship, and drivers suddenly forget how to drive with maximum efficiency to produce the fastest lap time,” says Kobayashi.

    I think some people were expecting to see something like that, with cars going sideways out of corners.

    maybe not to the extreme of Drifting competitions, but have you seen Hamilton's powerslides? no TC/driver aides is making a big diff.

    +1 have noticed alot of neat powerful slides this year. Nice to see the POWER at work! Will be interesting to see what tracks offer the most problems with a lack of TC. Problems as in traction and slides, without rain. Bahrain sounds like it could be very interesting from a tire perspective.

    Agreed Mark. Like sex is a real suprise or that someone in power is 'out there' in terms of taste. Yeah thats news! Its time to move on and get back to the season and so far its been as good if not better than last and its only race 3!
