Italia press reckons Red Bull are using an illegal traction control system. Firstly it wouldn’t be a surprise if these rumours have some substance given their history.

18th June 2013, 14:12 at 2:12 pm #238038NickParticipantSebastian Vettel’s three wins this season may have to do less with his ability and more to do with an illegal component in his car, if the latest speculation is to be believed.
For crying out loud, some people just do not want to accept Vettel might be a good driver. I can’t stand the guy, but how hard does talent have to hit these people in the face to see it?

Also, just to throw some crazy conspiracy theory out there…Ferrari launch-control.

Yellow flag-gate :lol:
They really are a silly bunch.18th June 2013, 15:10 at 3:10 pm #238042crr917ParticipantYes, a Pulitzer right there. Good job f1pulse.
18th June 2013, 15:14 at 3:14 pm #238043NickParticipant@DavidS I’m surprised there haven’t been any articles about Ferrari betraying Italy in recent years; they seemed to be a weekly thing back when Schumacher wasn’t winning titles for them.

Surely RBR are not the only ones with an oscillating drivetrain!
18th June 2013, 20:57 at 8:57 pm #238045mnmracerParticipantBoth Mercedes and Force India have left those marks in Canada.

@mnmracer already posted some pictures showing other teams left the same kind of marks, but even at that, a drivetrain is prone to influences from wear, set-up from the rest of the car and driver input. It’s not like all drivetrains in all cars at all times would cause any car to leave the same tyremarks.

18th June 2013, 23:10 at 11:10 pm #238049Jon SandorParticipantEveryone should have a dream, I guess. It’s nice that the poor fools who were praying that Brazil 2012 would be overturned because “Vettel passed under a yellow flag!!!” have found a new Forlorn Hope.
Pssst! Vettel has a secret bottle of NO2 under his seat! Pass it on!
