well it's a little bit pointless to compare...cars have developed quite much since that and weather today was much colder so that means better times.

yh so it shows with development and non TC the laptimes are around 1 sec slower so far for top teams. Im sure they will improve as drivers adapt throughout time.

Cars without traction control are not 1 second slower than cars with. They're just not. There is no comparison that can be made. By your calculations you lose nearly 2 seconds without TC. Wind direction, humidity, form, fitness, fuel, etc. They won't even be running the same tyres.

Me too. Doesen´t Robert Kubica ran in Monaco this year more-less all the race without TC and finished 5th?

Pure. Class.

Schumacher is a legend, in all meanings of the word. If he had been racing in 2007, he would certainly have taken the title IMHO.

Obviously. Massa/Raikkonen/random puppet would have had to defer to him at all times. :P

//edit: I like how 'Raikkonen' is now part of the English dictionary, according to the Firefox spell-checker.

LOL!

Amen!

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

maybe Alonso took his 7 tenths away with him?

No, it was more like "he comes, sees, and wins", a free translation of the latin sentence "veni, vidi, vici". So not literally a victory. Only i splitted up the sentence.

Felipe Massa, World Champion 15:34:11pm- 15:34:21pm.

Very fast times set by Schumi but i expected it, he's lost little if any of his speed at all.
Saying that that none of the other top drivers were there to give the old man a hard time!

even schumi adapting to "without tc" nowadays cars too :P

nicely controlled though.
