I also agree.

As a rallycross and autocross driver and instructor, I don't have a lick of F1 driving experience... but I know a bit about cars and handling.

This was a lack of experience with a VERY tricky class of car to drive. F1 cars are horrible beasts and extremely demanding. I would guess that one contributing factor (beyond lack of very fine throttle control by the driver) was that the tires were not yet warm.

F1 tires need to be warm. Very warm. Hot. You have to drive them hard to get them hot. Until then, they're not sticky. Whenever a driver pulls out onto the track, their tires are NOT up to optimal temperature. They have to carefully nurse the car through the first few corners, pushing hard enough to heat up the tires... not too hard, or they'll spin/slide... not too gentle, or they won't heat up the rubber.

It's a tough game.

I laughed so hard, schmawy...if you post it you've got a vote from me.

All Wheel Drive will get you to your accident sooner. Plenty of teens "buying" them with Mommy and Daddy's credit card. The payments outlive the teens fairly often.

I rallycross, yes.

Do you race? Do tell. Those things are lethal in the wrong hands. We've lost about five teenagers (plus some people in the cars they hit) in our part. Fabulous cars, I'd love one.
