Ron...resign lah but let your wife stay in the garage...she's hawt Guys in Planet-F1 forum thought so...me included Massa: Ban compromises driver safetyLink ~ http://www.planet-f1.comQUOTE Felipe Massa fears F1's new ban on traction control could lead to more accidents next season.
As of the start of the 2008 Championship drivers aids, including traction control, will be banned from Formula One.
The teams undertook their first test session without the aids at Barcelona this week, which saw Ferrari dominate the timesheets with Michael Schumacher quickest on the opening two days and Massa leading the way on Day Three.
But despite showing that he has the pace even without traction control, the Brazilian still fears that the safety of the drivers has been compromised by the ban.
"The fact is I didn't have any experience without traction control and I was rubbish," he told the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
"First the accelerator is like a button. You have to be as soft as possible.
"But from a safety point of view, these limitations on the use of electronics seem a step backwards.
"In wet races we will have a lot more accidents." Have some balls Felipe We'll see who'll join his 'whining' camp. Then again, accidents is possible. I hope the rivals were the one who'll get the 'doughnuts'

Massa 'rubbish' without traction controlSaturday, November 17, 2007 12:12 ISTQUOTE Felipe Massa has admitted to struggling to adapt to life without traction control in formula one.
The Brazilian, who made his grand prix debut in 2002 after the previous ban on electronic driver aids was lifted the season prior, topped the times on Thursday at Circuit de Catalunya as he tested his Ferrari without the sophisticated systems.
Getting his first taste of the revised Ferrari alongside his retired 2006 teammate Michael Schumacher the day before, however, Massa - who won three races in 2007 - was nearly half a second slower than the German, who last contested a grand prix more than twelve months ago.
"The fact is I didn't have any experience without traction control and I was rubbish," La Gazzetta dello Sport on Friday quotes the 26-year-old Massa as admitting.
"The accelerator is like a button. You have to be as soft as possible," he explained.
Massa is not a supporter of the traction control ban because he also thinks that, in terms of safety, the electronic limitations are a "step backwards" for the sport.
"In wet races we will have a lot more accidents," he predicts. Source~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those who misses Schumi, here is some hi-res pictures of Schumi testing the F2007 on Barcelona. Click hereThis post has been edited by -= Virgil =-: Dec 1 2007, 09:05 PM
