    That will make the race more interesting/dangerous!

    Will we see now how good/bad some of the drivers are.

    My guess is that the same drivers/manufactures will still be at the top.

    The top drivers have amazing skill. I remember one commentator saying years ago that Senna and
    Schumacher were the only drivers that could be racing on slicks in dry weather and when it starts to
    rain they can keep their slicks while the others have wet tires and not lose a position with their slicks.

    Amazing talent.

    Should make things very interesting. Thankfully it will require more driver skill to be part of the equation.

    will differentiate the very best drivers. I could see Felipe struggling a bit with this, because he's a bit on the wild side (could use the TC to save his ass once in a while...)

    Who needs traction control with a normally aspirated 2.4L?
