Basically, the rules require the engine to make max torque. Red Bull had the engines mapped to make less than that at partial throttle. The other teams argued that that is effectively a traction control. Less torque to make the tires spin.

Alonso 'calmer' than 'aggressive' Schumacher - Hamashima
When asked to compare Fernando Alonso with Michael Schumacher, Hirohide Hamashima insisted the great pair of drivers are "so very similar".
The Japanese, previously Bridgestone's technical chief and now working with Ferrari on "tyre issues", is uniquely placed, having worked closely with both Schumacher and, now, Spaniard Alonso.

Both Mercedes are out of Q2 and Rosberg looked a bit pissed as he got out of his car while Scumi is relaxed starting unfortunately in 17th.
Massa beat Alonso so far. Senna is through to Q3 and Webber is out.
Hamilton is blazing fast so far, .5 secs quicker than Vettel.
