David Coulthard, anybody? He has never changed his style and was always gurning that Adrian Newey's designs didn't match his style. Change it for God sake, everybody has to at some point.

Good rare action shots, but we know that photos don’t always tell the true.

When Kimi Raikkonen derided former boss Ron Dennis as "a control freak" earlier this year, it naturally sparked headlines as well as a few wry grins.

But if anyone will struggle, its Kimi, known as the lazy man himself, he was probaly the slowest to adapt to the new tyres, this could even be similiar
Strange statement.
He won the very first race of the season on those new tires...
he had a little "unfair advantade" in that race if you remember. :wink::wink:

Once again back on topic, how effective will this ban be? The FIA didn't do a great job of monitoring it last time, hence the reason it was re-introduced. Will they get it right this time around?

Even IF - he couldn't have won if he had problems adapting to the new tires.

Fair enough he did win, but he had 2 handicaps, the movable floor for starters.
Plus, can you honestly say Felipe wouldn't have won it if he was able to go for Pole Position.
True, Kimi was slow adapting, but the car was fast enough in Melbourne to make up for any short comings

yes I think that traction control should be done with the right foot, Jenson, Lewis, Kimi are the ones most likely to benefit I think.

One of the most would be DC & Rubens

I agree with all that, too. I'm so glad they're getting rid of TC, or doing the best job they can to get rid of it.
