F1 - Traction Control?
Hey do F1 cars have traction control? If so are they weak, medium or strong settings?
Also do they brake with their left foot?
I was playing a bit of F1 2011 on Xbox and was wondering.

LOL thanks for all the credible answers.
Is it a bad thing I enjoy playing F1 on xBox? Red Bull and all the top teams spend a lot of time and money on their simulation environments. I think it's a great way to to get a small feel of the guys go through on a weekend. Also the racing is great compared to the other simulators available.
No need to flame someone for asking a question.

To your other questions, traction control was used in F1 until a few years ago, but is now banned. Most of the dials on the F1 steering wheel control things like brake bias, diff settings, engine and fuel maps, and so on. Left-foot braking is pretty much ubiquitous (Rubens Barrichello is famous for being about the only F1 driver to brake with his right-foot), but it's gone from being an obscure technique that only rally drivers use to a mainstream tool in more or less every professional driver's repertoire these days. You can balance the car much more smoothly with LFB, and transition from brake to throttle better, but the rise of paddle-shift gearboxes really made it more common. Search YouTube for in-car shots of the footwell in Walter Rohrl's rally car to see someone dance on the pedals.
