Am I reading this right? You've raced a kart in some lower-formula championship at speeds more than 40% lower in both straight-line and cornering terms; you're a part-time amateur RC car racer and you're telling me you know what driving an F1 car in the rain is like? Better yet you are telling me from the comfort of your armchair while guys earning more in a year than your talent will get you in a lifetime are risking their necks?
When you've driven a car that does 0-160-0 in less than ten seconds, does 180 - 60 in less than 80 metres (try braking from 100 inside the 100yd board at the next roundabout. Text the hospital you're in and we'll send grapes) and requires you to go to the edge of its handling for 90 minutes to win a race, and perhaps you might have a point. Otherwise, I am (less politely) with Ralphee...
