All teams use a common ECU, and RBR's has been checked numerous times after complaints from other teams, and nothing has been found. Even Alonso came out and said that the RBR has sounded like that all season. One thing that has been suggested and is the possible reason for the sound, is that RBR have found a way to cut power to some the cylinders while coming out of the corners... Quote:
Red Bull May Have Invented A Secret New Hybrid Technology The other thing people are going on about is "Why isn't the same thing happening with Mark's car, its an RBR conspiracy I tell you, wah wah wah" Two reasons: 1. He is leaving at the end of the season, and I am sure that if they have "discovered" a new way of legal traction control, they sure as hell won't be sharing any information with the disgruntled employee who is leaving within the next two months. 2. Money. The FIA recently changed how the entry fee for teams works. The more points you gain, and the more points you win by, means you have to pay more to enter the following year, so winning by an insane points margin when the Constructors Championship is already in the bag, will only cost the team more money Quote:

Although it's not really related to the sound of the RBR or the traction control debate, Mercedes have said they think RedBull and more recently Lotus (the top two Renault powered teams) have had some clever engine mapping tweaks form Renault that have given them some significant advantages
Mercedes aims to uncover and match Renault engine mapping trickery | Grand Prix 247 Also some more interesting things on the engine sound and the unlikeliness that it is traction control http://grandprix247.com/2013/10/01/i...ttels-success/ Last edited by Sharpy.au; 15-10-2013 at 01:36 PM. |

Bit off topic I know, but does anyone feel that F1 isn't as entertaining as the golden days of Schumacher, Hakkinen, Senna, Mansell, Villeneuve, and the likes...no more epic battles as everyone is scared to scratch a wing and get fined by the FIA...
Even Alonso who probably is the last of the 'fiery go for any gap to pass' type drivers has calmed down heaps...and tyres, all about tyres since Pirelli came in, the last bridgestones changed the game a little bit but Pirelli just made it worse. Schumacher vs Hakkinen epic battles on the track, and the likes, don't see those anymore. |

There are plenty of battles happening behind Vettel.

None like the battles I'm talking about...not sure if you were watching F1 during this period I'm talking of but it's really different.

Umm no, imo I'd say battles these days are just as good if not better in F1 of today. As previously mentioned a lot is happening in the back behind Vettel, just the coverage is focused generally on the top tiers... Korea for instance had a fantastic display, if not the best of the Season for the battle for 4th with Hulkenberg vs Hamilton.
My main argument & an example; Is prior to DRS implementation there was fuck all overtaking or "real" challenges. Yes you got the talented driver once in a while from the like of Schumacher, Hakkinen, Senna. But overtaking & challenges rarely occurred, it was in part a side effect of incredible cornering speed & high downforce in the older f1 cars of the day. In effect it caused high turbulent air (aka Dirty air) behind the older cars, which made it impossible to get anywhere close enough to a car to make a pass. The sport got boring & stale. In turn the FIA approved & implemented DRS to solve in part the problem. Way more interesting these days, however I will say that Vettel's Dominance as of late brings me back to Schumacher's dominance of the day. IMO It kind of made F1 stale & abit boring. You could almost predict the winner & if not it was always "Oh Wonder who's going to beat *insert name*". Hamilton has even come out telling the media that Vettel's dominance is hurting the sport. Time will tell I guess. Korean Grand Prix 2013: Lewis Hamilton says Sebastian Vettel's dominance is killing F1 - Telegraph All a matter of Opinion, but that's my 2 cents. Onto F1 New Delhi India!
