Oh dear, Hamilton & McLaren are cheating again :(

McLaren's four-paddle steering wheel for traction:

McLaren's steering wheel features four paddle levers rather than the
usual two. The upper two are conventional gear-change paddles, one for
upshifting, one for down. The lower two allow different engine torque
settings to be chosen. Using two fingers at the same time allows the car
always to have the most favourable engine torque setting for each gear,
thus giving the driver a tool for limiting wheelspin out of slow corners
without then suffering a reduction in power in the higher gears, where
wheelspin is not an issue. The rules stipulate that any change in torque
settings cannot be triggered by the same driver input as a gear change.
Having two separate levers gets around that rule, while still allowing
the change of gear and torque setting to take place simultaneously. This
is part of McLaren's current performance superiority over Ferrari.
