Sebastian Vettel’s dominance is being powered by a clever post-‘exhaust blowing’ solution, a specialist Italian magazine claims.<\/p>\n

\"Sebastian-Vettel-car-2\"After the reigning world champion extended his 2013 points lead with a dominant performance in Singapore, former F1 team boss Giancarlo Minardi raised doubts about the legality of Vettel’s Red Bull.<\/p>\n

Minardi, watching trackside at Marina Bay, said Vettel’s car displayed worryingly good handling, while his Renault engine “sounded similar to past seasons when traction control went into action”.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Autosprint has now revealed an exclusive video that depicts the odd mid-corner sound of Vettel’s car in Singapore.<\/p>\n

It can be seen at http:\/\/autosprint.corrieredellosport.it\/2013\/09\/30\/sentite-il-rumore-del-motore-di-vettel\/10584\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The cover of the latest edition of Autosprint reads ‘Il segreto di Vettel’ (Vettel’s secret), and reveals reportedly “confidential information” about the German’s recent dominance.<\/p>\n

Autosprint, however, doubts Red Bull is using some kind of ‘traction control’, but rather a clever engine mapping that mimics the behaviour of exhaust-blown diffusers in the wake of the FIA’s clampdown in that area.<\/p>\n

British journalist James Allen, writing on his blog, agrees: “Rather than traction control, some kind of mapping to blow into the exhaust within the rules is more likely”.<\/p>\n

Toto Wolff, Mercedes’ competition boss, is quoted by Speed Week: “In this form, Sebastian could win all the remaining races of the season.”<\/p>\n

That could lead to more booing on the podium.<\/p>\n

Pirelli boss Paul Hembery told the German newspaper Bild: “Sebastian will only be popular again when he loses.<\/p>\n

“He will have to stand up in defeat, laugh and be humble.\u00a0 Nobody likes a bad loser.<\/p>\n

“Maybe we can help him out by supplying him with only three tyres?” he joked.<\/p>\n
