Jerez Testing (January 14th)

I've heard that Lewis was one of the drivers that TC come into action less frequently in 2007. Was it a wrong information?

well Lewis already last year had problems with tyres and for upcoming season it will be more important to take care of your tyres so will see how he does...

People are making a big deal out of it when last year it was the 1st time he used TC.

He is just learning the car at the mo it happens.

Massa has been off and other drivers have been as well.

It matters on race day not testing.

Lewis likes to slide the car at the back and uses his tyres more, in other words he hardly used TC at all in his car.

and people are jus saying he needs to manage them better. he is getting alot of tyre wear because of 'his style' and it needs to change/adapt to cope with no TC.

Think you will find more people will have that problem next year.

If any one of the top drivers is going to have probs with no tc is massa.

yup i know others will struggle too. Dont forget theres other factors such as ferrari's can manage their tyres better etc.

next year is all new so who knows who will manage them better.

Mclaren in testing seem to be doing ok their pace has been very good over the race sims so far.

I think the 2006 mclaren was to light on the tyres and then last years car used them to much, alonso managed the situation better thats for sure.

Glad to see Alonso was at the top of the sheets with the R27, and with the lose of TC I think that could play a role in success for them in 2008. I read that everyone except Renault use the 0-Keel suspension design which is built for better aerodynamics while the V-Keel Renault uses is built for better mechanical grip so with TC banned they'll need more grip which could help Renault in a comeback as long as Ferrari doesn't cheat and find a way to use TC.

Kimi Has just come out and said this Ferrari is much better than last years.

He also says that he is looking out for BMW and Renault as well as McLaren in 2008.

redbull doesnot use the zero keel suspension as well.
i remember newey saying that he was not going to revert to zero keel, at the start of 2007 season.

I'm sure you can find this behavior in many places, not only in Spain (british fans are not he most "pacific" ones) so there is no need for nationality reference I think...
