wasnt he the guy who couldnt adapt to left foot brakes?

Carbon brakes he had trouble with so for one race they tried steel IIRC. The guy got used to racing without legs I'm sure he could adapt to anything.

How long until we see diffusers on all the cars? Spain?

I think Renault say they are ready to run it, so maybe China for them.

 

[Mr Jack]

I expect to see tiered diffusers on the majority of cars this weekend.

To get the full benefit from it the whole car will have to be redesigned to channel the air into it so it will probably be months before the cars are where Brawn are now.

Epic news, lets hope mm hearing next week is as good.

That is what I heard, I also heard that the reason that Brawn GP did not want the gearbox with the engine was because of the different diffuser.

So I don't think it is as easy as screwing off the old diffuser and screwing on the new one.

Woot

Should the FIA be renamed to BIA = Brawn International Assistance?

Possibly!

So, hooting dicks who always used to scream "OMG FERRARI INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE!!!111oneoneleven" every time the stewards knocked a team that wasn't Ferrari - just how shocked are you at this announcement?

 

[rypt]

If McLaren had the diffuser then it would have been ruled illegal Good job that their engineers are not as good as Brawn

Good news

Quick random question about next year...

You know there is the 30mil, low restriction vs unlimited budget restrictions thing? Is there going to be something in place to stop say, Ferrari from wheeling out an old chasis from a couple of years back when they dominated 100%, and just working the 30mil on advanced aero and stuff?

I'm intrigued about a lot of this - with regards to the low restrictions on 30mill, i assume they still have the same aero restrictions as this year? Maybe we should start an F1 2010 season thread..

 

[rypt]

Don't they get "some" moveable aero if they go down the 30mil route?

And isn't refuelling banned again?

FIA in common sense prevails shocker!

Very good news chaps. I'm hoping RBR have their own diffuser soon (CS||NutS? ) as they are nearly on the pace anyway w/o it.

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Always knew it would go this way, but its glad to hear it officially

In your face Diffuser Nay-sayer teams!!

FIA in common sense prevails shocker!.

Nothing to do with FIA?? Isnt it the ICA that made this decision?
