Keith, to me it did sound different and some in our box remarked on it.
Some form of traction control managed by limiting revs? Who other than A.N. would know and I don't think he will be that forthcoming.

Only if you get caught Keith, on the other hand it may only have been a cracked exhaust.....not.

But it wouldn't change the exhaust note would it? I am told that SV's exhaust sounds like that exiting all low speed corners.
Also, isn't KERS charged via braking energy? I dunno, I just wasn't paying attention in school - typical. :shifty:
Bending and twisting of the rule book is the norm in F1, its for the other teams to get a handle on whats going on and get with the program. Does anyone remember that rear wing that bent back on its mount to reduce drag at speed? It took a while for all the other teams to realise what was going on and object by which time there was a bit of winning done

Loading and unloading of such a thoroughbred engine is very likely IMO to induce an exhaust note change. Using braking to charge KERS is adding a resistance to the rotating wheels which is why when it fails it mucks up the braking balance of a car. And in normal usage because it adds resistance you never would charge it in normal acceleration. As an aside trains use similar concepts to generate electricity and put it back into the railway power system when rolling or braking. Think of an alternator. If it is not charging the battery it saps less power from the engine. So if by allowing the KERS system to charge under acceleration it will add resistance to the rotational masses and hence suck up some power. Which could be sufficient to stop/reduce wheel spin if done properly.

Vettel all set to win championship.
Here's hoping Mark Webber can catch a break for once.....

What a boring season this has been, lets hope and pray next
season brings something better before the F1 fans lose interest.

Words like Flatlining come to mind.
Is that a real word?

so underwhelmed :sleep::sleep:
Brundle made a very interesting comment at the end: "some stardust in that car" - he knows a thing or two does our Martin. More to that comment than meets the eye:thinking::thinking::thinking:
