Looks like fun, you must have a limited slip rear end?

Hardly an F1 victory. Redbull handed Hamilton the win after they fcked up the pit-stop.
Nice burn out.

True and thank you. I will say that it was a pretty good strategy to stay out on the full wets long enough to then switch to ultra softs. But a win is a win. Hamilton had last year's race then his team F'd up so I'm sure that he knows exactly how Ricciardo feels.

Nope, just the factory rear end with the traction control off.

Can someone explain how a car with "esp" off and no limited slip rear end can lay down rubber from both rear wheels? Thanks

It has enough power to spin both wheels...I was always able to shred both tires.

The traction computers are still active with esp off. the brakes get dragged to keep the tires spinning even. You can watch it happen on ice.
