Ive only just heard this speculation:-
Ron Dennis says its possible that the Red Bull drinks too much fuel or has too small an engine. The ECU will switch the car to fuel saving mode if it senses this and that could have accounted for Vettel's loss of power.
Well there's an interesting idea. What do you think?

I think it's possible and would account for the fact that he picked up pace again later, and given that McLaren did design the ECU he surely knows a lot about it... But at the same time... hmm not sure... you know what i mean?

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

I remember Newey picked the Renault engine because of its low centre of gravity, so maybe it is quite small.

Pft, nonsense. Clearly it is just yet more cheating from McLaren.

Code: Select all

if ( $Manufacturer eq "Red Bull Racing" ) {
    $FuelSaveLevel = 30;
}
else {
    $FuelSaveLevel = 15;
}

Now. Obviously they would have had to know that Red Bull would be so strong in 2010 and that the Renault engine would be good on fuel consumption. So they must have bought an illegal crystal ball, too. Or received technical documentation from RBR and Renault. Go on Ferrari fans, dig in.

IT was probably Ronspeak for "despite the fact we have arguably the best facilities in Formula One, we can't seem to build a car that is quick straight out of the blocks."

Theres no need for him to play those games. He's not involved with the F1 team anymore. And whats to gain?
