Technology over Talent?

Post

Today's F1 racer are so hi-tec and sophisticated, so does that make drivers with better technical feedback have an advantage over drivers who are talented but with lesser knowledge of the technical feedback of their car?

But tech-savvy drivers have always enjoyed an advantage... Mark Donohue, Bruce McLaren, Alain Prost and more recently Ayrton Senna.

Senna was known for his especially good understanding of tires.

Well a driver technicaly aware has a big advantage over a "Alex Young" HAHAHAHA

Well if the driver knows some car dynamics he'll know how the car will work during a certain corner....and can predict what it will do with a certain change to the setup. This will also help the track engineer....and generaly they like drivers that "help" them.
