I'm not an expert, but I have driven Sears Point in very cold weather, but not quite that cold. The car still handled well. Again, you have to remember that friction causes heat. Even though the road surface is still cold, the tires will still heat up due to friction. Will it be optimal? Probably not near like it would be on a 70 degree day.

Remember, the art of being a good driver is adapting to your conditions and driving appropriately. No one is a great driver out of the box. You have to learn some limits in order to become a better driver. That means practice. What Pablo experienced was definitely a learning experience. Next time, he'll recognize certain limits and change his driving style. That makes him a better driver.
