'Renault have always had impressive speed off the line,'' said Niki Lauda, referring to Fernando Alonso's rocket-like start at Sepang, ''but what we saw (in Malaysia) was unusual.''
It is suggested that Renault could be running a form of launch control, despite the fact that the technology is not allowed.
I know there starts are the best, but I thought they had the most torque in there engines compared to the rest of the teams and because they have a lot of weight/ballast back in the car? I know they had to change there clutch system in 2005 because peopke were complainging that it was computer control, so they made a little lever to hold that clutch in place at the start for no spin starts.
