Both hands on flight controls after V1 - tradition, myth or technical fact.

I'm a believer in knowing what the throttle levers are doing.

At that time the auto throttles (on 'climb' mode) should have reduced power to the pre-determined climb setting on both engines. But the right power lever (no.2 engine) remained in takeoff power setting. It took the no.1 power lever 42 seconds to move to idle power. During these 42 seconds an asymmetric thrust situation developed.
