Not a bad idea...I wonder how long it will take Ferrari to claim it's illegal?
From F1 Live:
The secret of McLaren's run of pace in the last weeks may have been revealed by a British newspaper.
A technical report published on the Daily Telegraph website said back-to-back Grand Prix winner Lewis Hamilton, and his teammate Heikki Kovalainen, are making use of a unique four-paddle steering wheel.
With the conventional two paddles for changing gears, the extra two paddles allow the drivers to easily select different engine torque settings throughout the course of a lap, the renowned writer Mark Hughes claimed.
The solution could be allowing McLaren drivers to limit wheelspin under acceleration out of corners, thus making canny use of the new-for-2008 ban on traction control.
"This is part of McLaren's current performance superiority over Ferrari," Hughes added.
