Did well in Aus, struggled in last 2................is it the lack of traction control thats showing the guys inexperience? If so, will he be able to master it enough to be a threat for the title?

Hardly really. In Malaysia he was unlucky to be stuck behind Webber for the majority of the race and the pit-stop incident which wasnt his fault. Im pretty sure if those didnt happen he would have secured a podium position. That race was hampered due to other stuff rather than TC related.
As for Malaysia he made a mistake from the start by not flicking a switch and a poor decision by trying to ram up Alonso's arse. Not TC related again and Ferrari were just too strong this weekend.
Plus hes not inexperienced with TC, he's handled it before in the GP2 series. In that he practically blitzed the whole pack and won the championship. To be honest i dont think it really has made much of a difference so far this season. We've just gotta see in the more challenging street races and Spa.

not at all, the mistakes in Bahrain were nothing to do with traction control and his skill without it is known to be very good. he's days of GP2, formula renault and formula three were with far less drivers aids than his inagrul F1 season. Some have suggested that the removal of them could potentially give him an advantage this season.

If anyone has been shown up thus far its Massa although he certainly drove an excellent race in Bahrain. However I think thats predominantly because he was out in front and wasnt in need of overtaking for position, thats where I can see him being caught out a lot more.


Early days in the championship yet, things will certainly be changing over the coming races.
