You decide, do you think there is cheating going on?
So, if teams can easily put in traction control then there is a very
good possibility they have other driving aids on as well, such as ABS.
http://www.speedvision.com/pub/articles/racing/01formula1/010312a.html
"This is very typical for Formula One in particular. And now I give you
an unconditional statement, in the past 18 races, I had plenty of
opportunity to trail behind Ferrari cars or machinery powered by Ferrari
engines. And one thing was particularly remarkable, out of tight
corners, these cars had a pretty stunning acceleration, combined with a
misfiring engine."
The young drivers are not the "pick of the crop" they will just race for
less money then say guys from CART or other top notch series. GPL may be
a good driving sim but you couldn't use it as a training tool to get
into modern day f1. Forget about GP3. ;)

And yes, I realize that Frentzen was not speaking of ABS. I was responding
to the claim that ABS is around. Possible? Sure. Likely? Not from what I
see on the track.

You don't really believe that, do you? You OFTEN see them locking up when they
are outbraking each other during a pass. If they had the option to hit a
switch and get ABS, they would surely use it in those situations.
