EBD ban.

Looking at Scarbs this morning trying to get some clarification on how these settings work and when you can alter settings. It seems Mclaren/Mercedes teams and Red Bull are the two teams rumoured to be most reliant on qualifying maps.

Now wouldn't that be funny on ocuk if this allows ferrari to leapfrog them all and take the title. So many people venting at red bull to have ferrari walk in and take the title.

God I hope this now means Mclaren are even further back, just for the fallout from those that think this is perfectly acceptable because they think it's only going to hurt red bull

Its just rbr using this for qulifine, all they are doing is chucking gallons of fuel into the engine and alterted the timing so the engine poduce's less power but produce's more hot exspanding air over the back of the car. to do this they had to change the engine map provided by mclaren..........it just makes me laugh that they let it go this far into the season with out banning it. The Red Bulls are the main culprits as we all see at every weekend they get pole.

sry mr CS Nuts............your team is cheating.

clear as day.

And you don't think Mclaren are doing the same thing but just not as successfull with it?

Reading on various forums and scarbs the Mclaren car is doing it as well.

Anyone have a link to the F1 ECU regulations?

If this was against the rules they would have banned it earlier, James Allen wrote about the red bull doing this last july. Barely a protest from anyone on here or the pitlane. Red Bull pound them to pieces and all of a sudden it's wahhh wahhh.

I have no doubt when red bull continues to win we will be back to the flexi wing again. Again anyone have a link with the claim that the front wing cannot deflect by more than Xmm during the race?

Thanks for that Acid, so clearly they weren't doing anything wrong or evil like some are suggesting. Just some clever thinking.

What I don't understand is the whole point of the single ECU was to make it less open to interpretation. It would seem that is not the case. Before teams where using a map setting to give a form of traction control. It was complex and the FIA couldn't cope with it so they made TC legal.

How do we know they haven't gone back to using a form of TC using engine mapping as it seems anything goes just about??
