If anyone has seen "Days of Thunder" Cole Trickle was like Wanica in some ways, came from an open wheeled car, had no idea of what physics made the stock car go around the track and how to manage tires, brakes, etc.
She also never worked on a car and never will, just shows up to drive the car and make commercials. Her car owner got wrecked during the Daytona 500 and they showed him in the garage working on his car trying to get the car ready to return to the race. I've also seen Tony change tires in the pits at dirt races. I've also seen "Super Tex" A.J.Foyt working on his own car in 1982 (Indy 500) towards the end of his driving career working on his car in the pits. Wanica would be lost trying to do anything on the car.
If you have no idea of how a car works or even how to do minor things on it you'll probably have no idea of how to manage the cars resources, IMO.
