Yesterday I rewatched 2009 Australian GP. And a lot of times when they go onboard with someone from nearly every team, there´s a weird sound on the high revs of high gears (sometimes 5th, sometimes 6th, sometimes 7th).
I inmediately remembered having spotted exactly the same back then watching it live, wondered what that would be, if it could have something to do with new regs. But the noise went away from the cars as season went forward.
It sounds like the driver doing a downshift to then inmediately upshift again, all of it in the middle of the straights, close before braking zones actually. Sounds like some sort of extremelly clumsy gearbox operation by drivers in weird zones, but HUD shows full throttle and of course no gearshifting as you´d expect while the weird changing revs sound happens..
I leave here a link to video where it´s easy to spot it.

Anyone knows what this is about?
