I hope the decision favors Brawn and in the worst case I'm hoping the Brawn's display the same pace without the diffuser. Some would call it wishful thinking

I pull for Brawn cause they're the Underdogs and everyone loves a fairy tale story. But I hope the diffusers are deemed ILEGAL. So i can call Brawn: Brachers or w/e other dumb name for chaeaters.

Just to piss off the drama llama.

hahaha i understand your point of view on the calling, since the team you support has the tag of the mccheaters(which i have never said to any supports of Mclaren). i would like to see this be legal because i think ppl always need to be looking outside the box. you need to be innovative to win.

I'm kinda disappointed with the outcome.
I was looking forward to the video of mike's head exploding.

Finally, a decision is made.
Can't wait for all the other teams to make up their own version!

Yay!! now I hope this means that Brawn, Button & Barichello secure the championship for 2009.

Come to think of it, there was no hard evidence presented by the non-diffuser gang which was very evident in Nigel Tozzi calling RB arrogant. No way would that argument stand in front of any rational judge.

The only odd part to this story is that when other teams asked about this type of diffuser, the FIA told them it was illegal.

So that tells me:

1 - the diffuser was different enough to be called illegal

or

2 - they didn't ask the right question


I think Ferrari is going to have their work cut out for them this year....
