As far as I can tell there are two pieces of evidence that RBR is using traction control (aside from Vettel's results, with Webber's being counter-evidence imo)

1. That video above
2. Their engine sounds different exiting the conrners

As much as I dislike Gawker, Jalopnik does a good job reporting rumors with clear sources and such:

Personally I don't think they have it (as evidenced by my prior posts), I'm positive they've tinkered with the system (you'd be stupid not to try, I bet every other team has as well and if they haven't they're kicking themselves right now) but I don't think it would have passed tech inspection.
