Red Bull F-duct Method of Usage

[chris.gotfunk]

Is it me, or has anyone else noticed that Red Bull are using the same left hand actuated system we first had people screamed that we were unsafe? I was watching Vettel drive this weekend (watch F1.com and see the pole lap set by him) and you see his left hand leave the steering wheel to cover that hole to alter airflow.

I wonder why (if this is correct) why no one else is complaining?

Because we are THE SCUDERIA, and everyone else is against us because they're jealous

Yea, they've been using that for ages now. It's actually a pad on his left wrist that controls the F-Duct, rather than his hand. Slightly more safe than ours I think.

That was exactly how ours was in China I believe and everyone raised a stink about it because it was "not safe" but yet, no one is complaining about RB? I just find that odd.

Exactly, and Christian Horner specifically was very vocal about it against us.

Ours was actually activated by our drivers' hands. Rather than the wrist. Hardly makes a different in some corners, but I think he has slightly more control over the car than we did.

Maybe.

Tell that to Kovalainen when he saw Webber flying above him
