No Traction control will make ____ look average
Felipe Massa.
The guy always looks out of place on difficult tracks and has always woefully underperformed in the wet. His lack of car control in practice today further confirmed to me that he is an average driver that has lucked into a very good machine.
Im not doubting his speed, he still placed third today, but i get the feeling that as time passes, Felipe Massa off track excursions will be increasingly common.Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. - P.J. O'Rourke

I agree that we'll only find the answer to this question in race conditions and not in practise, although past performance in the wet may be a reasonable indicator.

Maybe we should wait until Sunday before burying someone. It's never good to jump into conclusions too early.

Felipe doesn't seem to be sweating it:
Felipe Massa, though, was happier with his day's running, having set the third best time in both practice sessions.
"All in all, I am happy with this start to the season," he said. "We were able to work towards the race and I think I will be able to run at a good pace on a long run.
"Because of going off the track, I was unable to try the last set of soft tyres available to me, but that's certainly not a big problem.
"The harder tyres are very consistent, while the other compound gives more grip on the first lap, but then suffers from greater degradation."

so far I have to say that I've been impressed by how all the drivers have taken to the no TC thing.
Now in the wets, that's where the real seperation starts to take placeyou can't argue with results.
Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
