    I can't believe this

    No doubt they should change the name of the series from Formula one to Formula Gay!!

    There has to be drivers who have driven in the past just shaking their heads at the new driver caliber. Hell I recall Senna driving in the rain on slicks with a 10 cylinder motor and no TC.

    coultard really needs to quite F1 and open a daycare center in scotland

    They do seem strange comments, especially bringing up Zanardi's accident - which happened on an oval, in the dry (obviously), and therefore in much faster conditions than an F1 car would be going in the wet.

    Perhaps DC's sorting out his retirement plans and wants to follow his fellow Scot Dario into a NASCAR? That way he won't have to race in the wet, and if it does start raining at least he'll have a roof over his head...

    How much power did the cars have when they last drove without TC?

    Bet it was more than they have now.

    Everyone seems to be on Max's side here .

    The only good point on the list for DC that I see is his reference to the spray , but that has nothing to do with the TC . It has everything to do with the aeros of the cars .

    Gosh , the electronics couldn't clean up even Fernando's issues in the wet . How the hell are they gonna deal with DC's ?
    Call up the IT boys . They've got some work to do .

    I can't believe these idiots either , Cowboy .

    Stick to your guns here , Max . We're all behind you on this .

    Hhmmm.. Mad Max seems totally unconcerned with the 2008 changes...

    causing any "Safety Issues" when driving in the rain.

    In fact he sez... "It's dangerous in the sense that you're likely to go off... but you're less likely to hurt yourself because the speeds will be slower".

    Hhmmm... I wonder just... How Much Slower.... the drivers have to go in order to insure they.... "Don't hurt themselves".

    : Yep, you gotta... Luv Max's consistantcy in playing the Safety Card... only when it suits his interests.

    Personally, IMO... racing by nature is a Dangerous Sport. The driver should be willing to accept the risks when he is willing to accept the paycheck.

    Older drivers seem to be less willing to take risks... compared to the youngsters... be it Formula 1, NA$CAR, or other major pro racing series.

    DC needs to reasses his commitment to F1.

    If you can't take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.
