McLaren's secret weapon................LEWIS!! :laugh::biglaugh::tongue::lol::lol::lol::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:


ummm but that isn't really a secret. A secret is something that no one knows of but them. (McLaren). We all know of Lewis Hamilton's talent. :wink:

Thats very true AKR. But what if he hasnt unleashed all his power yet, what if he's only just getting started??

Then my nightmares have only just began. nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *LOL*

Definition: An enhancement of an existing ABS system that prevents wheel spin while accelerating on wet or slick surfaces. It uses the same wheel speed sensors to monitor wheel speed during acceleration, but requires some additional control solenoids and a pump to apply braking pressure to control wheel spin. The traction control system brakes the drive wheel that's starting to spin to shift torque to the opposite drive wheel that still has traction. Most traction control systems only operate at speeds up to about 30 mph. Additional control strategies that some traction control systems use to limit wheel spin include reducing the throttle opening, upshifting the transmission, retarding spark timing and deactivating fuel injectors.

Seems like a traction control system by definition...

did you 'purposfully' misread my comment clever d!ck.. :irked:

Remember DD mentioning earlier about keeping some sort of decorum? :nono:

Traction control by definition, to not require software, or was that a brain, just can't seem to remember... :rofl:

ASCII to ASCII, DOS to DOS


the driver is manually changing torque settings
The rules indicate that drivers can not select gears and torque settings in one move, so the extra two levers must be used for the car to remain legal.


by the way youre really going to be taken seriously around here with your username :rofl:

Aha, now I understand the FIA only banned the use of traction control, launch control and fully automatic gearboxes if the driver use one lever to activate it... :banghead:
Glad you like the nic Bud :wavey:


manually changing torque settings is not traction control

i like the loosit part of it the most :wink:

on the friday he was pretty compettitve so it would seem silly to revert back to the old spec car...

Are you a Formula One engineer? Are you Kovalainen's race engineer? Do you actually know anything about Formula One?

No, it doesn't. You clearly don't understand how McLaren's innovation works and what that definition is telling you.

There's no point in anybody trying to explain how McLaren's system is legal. They've demonstrated on here that they are nothing more than shit-stirrers with an anti-McLaren agenda. Anyway, Kyros, I hope you enjoy watching your soulless Renault thinking getting a point is like winning a Grand Prix whilst the historic McLaren are competing for championships. I hope Loosit Hahahamilton enjoys seeing Hamilton win a few championships. :wavey:

Sensitive Fan, I thought I made it clear that I understand that in the name of sportsmanship, fairness and a better F1 the FIA banned the use of these controls; but I also understand that having two additional levers is better than one, or is that none... :clap:
LOL

You understand nothing. Your posts show this. Your are just letting your hate for all things McLaren cloud your judgement.

sounds like your trying to s*** stir around here mate. Were all on this forum just to have a debate. but you and bud always have to get agressive and argumentative about it, putting everyone elses opinions down. Do YOU actually know the truth? seems with every reply you send theres a wiff of bull. :thumbdown:

And Im sure watching the race was more pleasing to watch for a Renault fan (Piquet almost winning) than for a Mclaren Fan (rivals and team mate feebalishly moving out of the way of LH) must of been a bit embarasing really while some of us were disgusted by it expecting a proper race and a challenge for lewis..

with the wheel sensors pre installed in their inner ear.

Edit: oops, forgot there was a 2nd page :confused:
