FiA and the diffuser hearing
It's getting hot in Paris...
Ferrari's QC Nigel Tozzi - involved for the Italian team in the spy saga of 2007 - led the anti-diffuser argument, slamming Brawn's submission that the appeal is "vindictive" on the basis that teams that did not think of the divisive concept.
Referring to the former Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn, Tozzi said: "Only a person of supreme arrogance would think he is right when so many of his esteemed colleagues would disagree."
The Ferrari counsel also did not hold back on criticising the FIA, noting the inconsistency of having told some teams the diffuser concept is illegal, and then green-lighting the similar solutions of other teams.
"The position of the FIA is totally baffling. We urge you to save the FIA from itself," he told the panel.

I thought I heard the ruling was not expected until tomorrow.

Yes, but thanks to the wonders of a large round planet and the creation of time zones, it can be tomorrow there when it is today here.

My prediction - rules are revised and the diffusers will have to change but the wins count. Same as last year's ruling on the flexi-floor.
Funny how last year around the flexi-floor it was taken as Ferrari cheating in some media circles and on this forum, while me and a few others said it was actually a rule interpretation problem.
This year, no one is calling it cheating, but a rule interpretation problem...FINALLY!

You take this self-identification with Ferrari WAY too far.

What are you talking about? Half the grid is calling it cheating.
