For this year, unless you have a huge playbook, strategy is going to be a lot more important than actual driving skill. Someone who knows the game backwards and forwards with only mediocre driving skill is going to be a lot better choice than someone who can drive superbly. In the 1-2 seconds it takes to communicate info from coach to driver, a lot can happen. The semi-instantaneous travel of instruction overcompensates for the slight lag in reflexes, etc.
