That is the same interview. Mclaren took it way further from there, and it was from there they started to do things with the clutch, and other things. This, in 2012 was at its peak when it came to its head with exhaust blown era when Red Bull and Renault took it way beyond the parameters that McLaren and Mercedes ever deemed it useless to go beyond. I did hear him say that the Exhaust Blown era started way back in 2007/8 when Red Bull electronics engineers got there hands on the McLaren ECU, and they poached 4 or 5 guys from McLaren and then when they started working with Renault closer in 2009. It was all a perfect storm, and the Exhaust Blowing era started back in 07/08 and took 4/5 years to perfect.

It was DC that also pioneered throttle peddle mapping, where he was at 100% throttle after the throttle was depressed more than 90%. However, this will be a thing of the past shortly as the sport goes towards a standardised throttle pedal and Clutch potentiometers,
Standardised potentiometers doesn't preclude pedal mapping.
That is true, mapping has been going on for many more years, and precluded a standard potentiometer. Its now that many are saying we need a standard linear potentiometer for the throttle pedal, and many of the smaller teams are wanting a standardised brake pedal as well, leading to a possible standard pedal assembly. It has also led to thinking about a standard steering wheel as well, but i think this will be a step too far for the teams, pedal assemblies yes, but steering wheels, no thank you.
I did hear a rumour once that there is a driver on the grid, and was on the grid for more than a couple of seasons, had issues with flags, and had the team link in when there was a yellow and blue flag into the system as well. Im unsure who the driver is, but it leaves drivers who did 35-100 Grand Prix under review, and that leaves many names.
