That's hardly an indication of how good or bad someone is. One mistake is not exactly the best way to judge someone's ability in the wet weather. Webber was strong at the Nurburgring, getting a podium, and would've finished at least second at Fuji. I'd expect Lewis' chances to be slightly worse than Mark's purely because one of the major issues with the McLaren is aerodynamics and, as we all know, aero is crucial in the wet.
The toyota is quite similar to the Ferrari, for one simple reason. Massa and Truili are identical in their driving style. Need a good front end, both blindly fast in quali but weaker with race pace. Both Ferrari and Toyota have primarily been developed around Massa and Truili. That leaves both cars with a similar trait, they struggle more with getting heat into the tyres. This was pretty clear last year with both cars. Thus it meant during wet races, getting heat into the wet tyres was a downright pain.
At least thats my view. Which isn't always right.
But if the Toyota is much like last years, they'll struggle in the wet. Button will then dominant more than likely. Webber would be one to watch certainly if it rained.
Lewis would be one to watch if it rained.
Webber spun in silverstone in the wet.
