Re: 'Highest'?

Re: Tyres fitted to front or rear

My understanding is that it’s not so much about grip as resistance to aquaplaning. You always want more tread depth at the rear than the front because you can potentially save the situation if the front aquaplanes (ease off, keep everything straight, pray).

Re: Clarity of Purpose

I think being 'in the zone' (AKA 'flow' - Wikipedia link) is a slightly different thing, although it's a fascinating and desirable state to be able to achieve. I'd like to know more about the Senna thing though - you'd think he'd have been looking to attain and maintain that kind of state as much as...
