It has to be said that as formula 1 cars slow down the downforce reduces considerably - and Massa was in 'dirty air' anyway. Had the brake bias been a little more to the front - perheps better optimsed for trail braking - it might all have been different. So don't give up on it - it should be ithe quickest way round a corner as you are using nearly all the grip the tyres can give. Even using 50% of the possible amount of brake force that could be used without locking up should result in slightly later braking and a quicker lap time - just don't go for the max! Just practice a lot where and when it is safe to do so. I wouldn't recommend the public highway!
