Max Mosley played down F1 drivers` fears that the sport will be more dangerous on wet weather with the ban on the traction control. The president of FIA denies the removal of driver aids will compromise the safety, after some drivers expressed their worries to the British magazine Autosport.

The print magazine says that the drivers are in opened talks with FIA about having some input into how the wet races are handled in the current year and beyond.

“I’m confident (race director) Charlie (Whiting) will do the right thing based on us helping and advising him - and that’s why we’ve started a dialogue now rather than trying to react afterwards” said David Coulthard, whose fears are backed also by Ferrari`s Felipe Massa.

Jenson Button strongly stated: “We couldn’t have raced in Fuji (in 2007) without traction control - there would have been people spinning on the straight”.

“It will make it more difficult in the wet - but it’s difficult in the wet anyway. And people forget, even the least competent F1 driver is still amazingly good at what he does” said Mosley.
