Here's another interesting one about fast lap of the race '07 vs '08
Street type tracks:
2007 2008
Albert Park: 1:25.235 1:27.418
Monaco: 1:15.284 1:16.689 wet track at start
Montreal: 1:16.367 1:17.387
Road courses:
Malaysia: 1:36.700 vs. 1:35.366 vs. 1:34.223 (2004) vs. 1:35.483 (2005)
Bahrain: 1:34.067 vs. 1:33.193 vs. 1:31.447
Spain: 1:22.700 vs. 1:21.670
Turkey: 1:27.295 vs. 1:26.506
France: 1:16.033 vs. 1:16.630
It seems that the '08 cars are about 1 sec slower on the street tracks but 1 sec faster on the road courses. The only exception is France. Perhaps they didn't need to go faster because McLaren and BMW were stuck behind slower cars and Ferrari got so far ahead they called off the dogs early in the race.
However, this is interesting because of no traction control and standard ECU, they still manage to go quicker on the road circuits.
So the latest aero-gremlin solutions are better then electronics on the faster circuits.

It goes to show that F1 does indeed have the best drivers around. 
Or should I say, the most adaptable?

I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.

I'm not sure what it shows either but , as far as talent goes maybe a WRC driver would be more representative of a drivers skills then say , driving on a road in the summer .

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
