More grip than power
Grand prix veteran David Coulthard has lamented the dawning of F1`s V8 era, suggesting that the pinnacle of the sport has become `F3-ish`.
``If people talk about (that),`` the Scot told the BBC, ``that`s because it`s the kind of scenario you have in F3.``

Like in the junior open wheeler series, 34-year-old Coulthard says a `power slide` has become a thing of the past in formula one, after the V10 formula bit the dust at the end of 2005.

``You`ve gone from a car that ...
has a bit more power than grip,`` he said, ``to one that`s got more grip than power.

``I liked the V10 formula. But what does it matter really what I think? It`s what we have.``
