If Michael Schumacher(as well as countless others) had not risen through the ranks of go-karting(w/no traction control), would he have been as good a driver?  Would he have been as educated on the basics of car control?  Would he even know where the limits were?  And more importantly, would he have known how to react when the car had passed its limits?  And finally, would learning on a car equipped with electronic safety nets have instilled him with the discipline required to be a world champion?
