Driver errors in 2008

[jens]

In 2008 we have seen a lot of driver errors and actually I don't remember so many mistakes from any season I've seen so far. I guess the ban of driver aids (TC, rear-end eletronical stabilisator, etc) play a vital role here. In terms of raw pace there actually isn't much difference compared to last seasons - drivers are as quick as we have used them to see. But the amount of some drivers' mistakes does make even the "best days'" highly-criticized Sato look like a steady driver. I take into account the mistakes of qualis and races like spins, "walls", which with drivers lose at least a lot of seconds. Also collisions have been included, but if it's difficult to identify, whose fault a collision has been, then all the participants have been added. Small mistakes like Kubica in Australian quali aren't included, coz then the counting of mistakes would become quite impossible... :p :
