The designation "best drivers in the world" comes into question when they have to be protected from rain. Even standing water can be taken into consideration by a driver who understands the throttle. Only on tracks with ultra-high sustained speed is danger unavoidable.. A lesson in driving in the rain with a ground effect car….  René, I needed only a few moments to realize who and where, and then remembered how incredible Villeneuve had been during Friday practice in heavy rain. Only six cars braved the conditions and Gilles was fastest by almost ten seconds. Those were the days...
Cheers, Carl
