I find it ironic that JYS used to do this too, most patronising for the drivers......in the latter years of his F1 driving, the F1 Tyrrel cars that he drove were complete boats with very short suspension wishbones that caused a very "snappy" suspension system, which absolutely required the driver to hack the steering wheel and deal with all sorts of oversteer incidents, not smooth driving at all.

Watch this on-board footage from 1973 and you will see what I mean.

The smoothest driver ever was Jenson Button........I run my 12 year old son to a professional level in MSA karting around the UK, I have employed numerous national championship winning 1:1 driver coaches over a 4 year period to get my son as fast and as smooth as possible.......in the last year we had 16 podiums, 3 wins and won a championship.......I respect JYS, but his talk on driving does grate with me.
