View the Post on the Blog[youtube]The famous Italian motorsports magazine Autosprint claims that Red Bull Racing might be using traction control on their Formula 1 cars.
Everything starts with this video showing the accident between Mark Webber and Giedo Van der Garde at the Canadian Grand Prix. The RB9 leaves strange tyre mark traces on the tarmac while accelerating out of the corner, like if there was something controlling how the car puts the power on the ground.
Autosprint talks openly about two possible explanations to this phenomenon. The simplest one is that the Red Bull Racing cars are using electronic aids on their cars, but they also speculate with the possibility of vibrations in the suspension derived from the collision as the cause of this periodical skid marks. What do you think?
