renault drivers have better eyesight

[news]

i like this quote from webber:

Fernando and Giancarlo also eat a lot of carrots to improve their eyesight for seeing the (start) lights, but that's the lot.

webber was referring to how the renault drivers can get off the line so fast. funny, but this should be looked into more clearly. in malaysia, alonso jumped from the fourth row to the third position. i consider that quite bizarre.

but as webber points out:

... simply a clever combination of superior engine torque, electronics, clutch and tricky weight distribution.

pretty smart.

why aren't the other smart people from other teams able to do that? hopefully someone can crack renault's "secret" soon.
