This is not just a ferrari thingy btw, Renault, Williams, BAR, Toyota, McLaren, Sauber all have it. The only ones im not sure about are Jordan, Jaguar and minardi (all ford engines)

I thought that's what I said ?? In order for any F1 car to go marginally faster for short periods the rev limiter is disabled (or adjusted up at least) via the steering wheel button.
The rev limiter usually has differing limits according to the gear selected and is useful for limiting revs on airborne cars
and another setting for the pit lane.
