Nice, I'm glad to see it was deemed legal. While it definitely helps, the RedBull cars have shown it isn't required to do well.

It will be interesting to see which cars are the fastest on the grid after they all add the diffuser though. I'm thinking if Redbull integrates the diffuser well -- they are going to be dangerous!

By all accounts the hearing got quite personal.

Still at least it is all done, onwards to China now

Well who is to say how much the diffuser really was helping overall, look at Rubens in race 1, his was broken somewhat during the first corner incident and he was still able to finish 2nd, thanks to the incident between SV and RK.

I believe the sussy setup on the RA109(BGP001) is a very big contributor more than the diffuser to the quickness of the car.

Will be interesting to see though, how quickly the other teams can adapt the concept to their vehicles. Not like they can just slap something on, doing so might just slow them down.

rule is now clear, it is only a matter of time before other teams have it.

Clearly the FIA ruled to help Ferrari again... This is just too easy sometimes...

I think Ferarri pissed off the racing gods somehow And that hurts my feelings... not at all

Great race weekend coming up: ALMS, F1, IRL, and a group S drive! Driving my race car is the first priority - the other racing will get Tivo'd for later

Whenever a lawyer has to attack personally the other party, things aren't looking too good.
