If the driver doesn't let the tires warm up the car is on ice skates until they do and easy to lose control if you jump on the gas. You heard crash stories because of this all of the time when the 05/06 cars first came out.
+1 I saw this happen
around the time the 05's came out, a guy arrived at my local track, Mosport, Ontario, Canada, came out
of the pit lane first time and went hot into turn one, put the car into the wall backwards on the outside, then nose first on the
inside, both hard hits, he had his kid in the car with him, shaken up, but they walked away, I heard the car was written off. I
have a pic of the aftermath, but can't find it.
