I'm pretty sure in an F1 car you can't hear the onset of wheelspin from the cockpit... not with the radio/hearing protection earpieces the driver's wear, plus the helmet, plus the *insane* volume of the motor.

Recognizing wheelspin is done by noticing the discrepancy between engine rpm and acceleration. If the motor is screaming, and your eyes are still round... the wheels are spinning.
