Has Vettel Been Cheating All Season!?!...

[Willis]

Right, I'll explain first that the person who noticed this and has put me onto it is a former member of the Red Bull Junior Team (young drivers scholarship programme), he has a VAST and I mean VAST knowledge of F1 and in particular he knows the RB cars inside out and the positioning of their controls. So, when he says there's something odd going on with Vettel, then there's something odd going on with Vettel.

We all know about the ''F-Duct'', and drivers covering something with their hand to activate it. This was banned. But, watch Vettel on these two videos (only checked two so far), his right hand is clearly coming off the wheel on the straights and is clearly going down by his side, towards the area where McLaren and Mercedes had their ''F-Duct'' vent positioned before its ban.

This has been picked up on literally within the last hour, so you heard it here first if it kicks off...

Well, you heard it here second, I told Clio197.net first. :lol:

His right arm leaves the steering wheel to touch "something" when he is on a straight

All the drivers do this, it's to adjust the brakes into the corners.

Brake Bias doesn't take nine seconds to adjust and is on the wheel of the car in the RB.

Theory is a bypass for the brake cooling ducts as he only seems to do it heading into a heavy braking zone.

Mike put his article online last night after I'd gone for a nap, it's well worth a read. He could just be having a cheeky w@nk though...

[Willis]

Theory is a bypass of some sort for the brake cooling ducts, so that the brakes don't lose as much temperature on a long straight and are therefore in their optimum heat range, or nearer to it at least, when coming into a heavy braking zone. Sounds plausible and very clever if that's what it is. But, we'll never know!!!
