Fingery McDouchephallus's traction control working nicely again. Although if you ignore the fact he's running off in the lead then it was a really good race. 4th, 5th, 6th battle at the end was great!

All Webber rides would have to be the most incidental problematic ones I can ever remember, Why always Webbies have the problems where Vets are fine..

It makes sense. Vettel is not capable of wiping the floor with Hamilton, Alonso, Raikkonen and Webber; no way. Speaking of Webber, what level of inequity has been shown to him over time by his team?

Very interesting, and cool, means of traction control. One of those things that I wonder if it would ever make it into consumer cars. Seems to be predictive of available traction, rather than reactive. Lots more variables in consumer cars, but hardly insurmountable.

Hmm.
Looking at the rules, it appears that the traction control rules are tied to "limiting wheel spin". It will come down to a decision on if that is defining a reactive system or not. If wheel spin is not a component of what is being fed into the traction system, it very well may be successfully argued that it is legal.
It's a very fine line of definition, and I expect 99% of people won't be willing to acknowledge that the difference even exists since the end result is the same. Including F1 officials.
I fully expect that F1 has no idea what he is using and just haven't found it yet. If they knew, they would probably have made a statement by now, either saying that it is legal, or hammering red bull.

It's a reletively tight grouping for P2. I wonder if RB has tuned down the traction control.
