The Formula 1 Thread - 2013
I suspect the FIA will give in on the issue and raise the weight limit. Taller drivers will always be at a slight disadvantage, as they are now, but it's not reasonable that the likes of Hulkenburg and Button (who are skinny and über-fit) could be excluded from the sport for being too lardy.
It would be ironic if KERS were to be Red Bull's secret weapon, what with all the problems it's caused them. Of course it's cobblers: winning by 32 seconds is not that amazing, especially when second place Rosberg was holding everybody else up and had a problem with his front wing. And where was their big advantage in Korea?

Red Bull have more downforce than everybody else, so more grip than everybody else. That's why the car turns in so well, and why Vettel can be on the power earlier than the others.

I have not seen anything to suggest cheating,in fact quite the opposite.
If indeed they do have traction control, you can be sure that it will be within existing regulations.
As for having a go at Vettel for winning races, what do you expect him to do? He can only drive the car that he is given, not his fault that RB are streets ahead of the others.
And it's only cheating if it's against the wording of the rules, not the spirit.
In 2009 Red Bull missed a trick with the double diffuser because they interpreted the rules to be that it wouldn't be allowed. They protested it and once the rule was clarified adapted their car and nearly won.
If they'd been on the ball he'd already have 4 championships, you can't afford to not be causing controversy in the interpretation of the rules. If you're not breaking something you're not quick enough.

I just do not believe that the little sh1t fettle is that much faster than everyone else, cheating would explain a lot.
