You can't make that argument for traction control because TC is defined as a closed loop sytem. A TC sytem then has to have a feedback where it takes acount of wheelspeed to tell the ECU to ignore what the driver does and fix the slip. Thus a computer interviens. Anything you do with mapping engines and diffs isn't a closed loop system. You might argue its helps the driver, just like expo on a RC handset. But the rules in F1 and RC or anywhere don't class mapping movement as a electronic driver aid.

Exactly, and the rules didn't cover this clearly enough either. And according to you those things are still againsg the "spirit" of the rule and therefore cheating. Seriously, no team can claim it's clearly against the rules who also asked the fia if they could do it?? Why would you ask if it's so clearly against the rules! How does that work??
Oh, and I work for a car manufacturer, but that doesn't mean I know what other car manufacturers confidentially discuss!? Unless those letters were published for the hearing this week or at some other time, then the only way of knowing is industrial espionage, which is....that's right, cheating!! If they are published let us know where as I'm intrigued to read them!!
