There is now way you can compare Stroll to Diniz and yes because Stroll actually won a junior title. Maybe you can compare him to Klien, a talented driver thrown in at the deep end before he was ready. Problem is, if Max can make the jump, people will think why not others? At least Williams are now justified in bringing Felipe back

First, he entered at a time when the cars were pretty easy to drive, in many ways. The most difficult aspect of the cars last year were all the buttons and mechanisms you had to learn, but that's nothing that couldn't be sorted out with long hours at the factory and good coaching. In 2017, the performance gap between F1 and any junior category is huge once again and the drivers have to be athletes - I think the days of a teenager hopping into an F1 car from F3 or whatever and being on the pace straight away are over. Second, my gut instinct tells me that Max is the path to greatness, and has that super-human it that separates the great drivers like him from the extremely good ones. You can throw anything at a driver like that, and they'll learn. TL;DR - I think even very good young drivers will look out of their depth thrown into a 2017 F1 car before they're ready, especially in a grid littered with decades of experience. |

Interesting to see that a 1994 car had more cornering speed than a 2017 one. |

Pretty sure that the modern cars are running de facto traction control through the KERS system. |

really good race summary by Karun Chandhok. video is a bit long and while he acknowledges that the race wasnt the best, its still a good summary. made the weekend seem far more eventful then what came across on the TV.
http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/op...aco-grand-prix one point he briefly addresses is that Merc had an extra day to think about things and they still couldnt find the right operating window for LH but then he goes on to talk about just how impressive VB's quali lap was....food for thought imo! |

he really is.
lots of good insight and avoids the sensationalist musings that the other ex driver/owner types resort to. just need to remember to watch his reports more often! |

I'm pretty sure teams are "faking" traction control via some technical means.
