Alex Wurz says he is not bothered about the impending ban on traction control in formula one.
Many teams have been experimenting with their electronic driver aids turned off at the Jerez and Mugello tests this week, as they prepare to install a standardised ECU in each car for the 2008 season.
Williams’ Wurz is due to drive at Jerez on Thursday; the last test day before the summer break.
“Traction control doesn’t make the driving easier,” he told his team’s official podcast.
“I’m totally open about what is coming. It’s about the same for the drivers with or without traction control. The limit will just change slightly.”
McLaren, Toyota, BMW, Renault, Red Bull, Super Aguri and Honda have also been testing at Jerez in the south of Spain, while Ferrari-powered Toro Rosso and Ferrari are in Mugello.
Spyker, meanwhile, tested the rear-end of its incoming ‘B’ car on Wednesday on the shorter Stowe circuit across the road from its Silverstone base.
