...great from the really good, and some engineering advances have muddied the process. Part of all cars' armory from 2002-'07 was traction control, an electronic aid that kicks in when the rear wheels begin to spin or slide. Say you're driving through a tight corner in the rain. At the midway point you floor the accelerator. Because an F1 car is both ultra-light and ultra-powerful, your action would surely cause the rear wheels to spin and the car to slide out of control.

Some would say that this is for good reason, with the bracing sea breezes, regular rain, and eerily empty Main Street, but FM is inclined to disagree.
