Ummm....I smell a Rat!

Malaysia, Ralf is 2nd quickest in the race, then brazil and he's clearly the fastest and Monty may well have won, then Imola and Ralf takes the mickey...but Spain and he's 5th fastest....?

It's fairly clear that Williams are not using traction control, Ralf lighting up the rears as he span off would prove that, before Montoya confirmed that they were only using Launch control.  

I hear that Williams blew an engine on the Friday running TC and they struggled last week at Silverstone.

So why haven't Williams sussed it and McLaren and Ferrari clearly have?

I say they're rivals have been either using it or developing it before. This is exactly why it's been re-introduced, but appears to have immediately favoured the cheats again!

The only team to make a significant backward step in Spain has been Williams and the only team that have come out of this weekend with any respect from me is Williams. A 2nd place without TC is a great result.

I can only hope they sort it quick and get back to the front where they belong. Williams are the best F-1 team and Monty can and will beat Michael wheel to wheel.

Bring on Nurburgring and the embarrassment of Ferrari! - Dom - UK.

Dom,

Thanks for the response.

I think you are absolutely right! See issue 3-12.

The FIA had no option but to allow traction control as several teams were already using it. It is strange that Williams, that had launch control for most of the season, are now having trouble with their traction control. I guess that is motor racing.

I tend to agree with you - Williams could be the dominant team before the end of the season.
