10x for the answers guys!

How would you comment this opinion in the context ot the friction circle

Quote:Maximum traction actually occurs with a slight amount of tire slippage against the rough asphalt surface. Maximum braking occurs at 10 to 15% slippage, and maximum cornering occurs at 5 to 10% slippage, as proven by numerous engineering studies and daily racing team computer datalogging records. This maximum grip occurs because the rubber in the tire is being torn away by the extreme forces involved, although the tire must be rotating to achieve this grip.

Does it means a bit of slip is good - but to dificult, do no driver can keep it on every surface?
