Think Q3 should be done with race fuel rather than no fuel (and a little strange that KERS is mentioned even though all teams have agreed not to use it)

Well its allowed in the rules, so it must be mentioned.
Nothing to stop teams braking rank and doing it anyway
I should be taking bets on who will be the first to break the Gentlemans agreement..

With all the other manufacturers having to re-equalise their engines to match the cosworth supplied 'standard' unit - when will this re-equalisation take place?
I'd have to imagine it being somewhat disruptive to have to recalibrate the engines, so maybe cosworth powered cars will have an initial advantage, even if its not due to them being 'better' engines than the current offerings.

I really don't think it will be difficult or that painful to sort the engines.

Why oh why would anyone want qualifying with race fuel!!!

Im sure people where saying that before the recent change to quali a few years ago with Q3 being on first stint fuel

So next year we can look forward to Trulli train holding everyone up from lap one (for instance)

Just because someone is faster than everyone else with no fuel, it doesnt signify they will have the pace for good race pace with a lot of fuel, therefore imo q3 should be with full fuel, so at least the fastest person in quali is likley to be the fastest over the first few laps (to make a good race, rather than loads of cars being held back by a slower car)

Didn't they say they will fall into line along with other FOTA members about 2 or 3 weeks ago and not run KERS in 2010?

Yes they did

While also adding, "Every time this season - when Hamilton and I are in the third part of qualifying - I had to do it with more fuel. If you take into account the quantities of fuel, I would have had pole position several times."

Ferrari in 'still banging on about double diffuser' shocker - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/79980

All other teams got on with it. As mentioned previously, with teams making over 2 seconds a lap improvements over the season, a couple of tenths from the diffuser alone is not that much.

Apart from Ferrari - I think Brawn where one of the very few who made less than 2s over the season (I think 1s in Brawn's case), probably due to the design being based around Honda engine and the changes that required hindering other advances.

Its quite amusing that Ferrari continue to whinge even though Brawn highlighted the diffuser loophole in the technical regulation meetings in mid 2008, yet Red Bull (who are a fraction of the size of the Maranello squad) went out and designed their own double diffuser after it was certified legal and implemented it for May and got it working for June
 
The Red Bull car was already a quick car before the double diffuser events. Adrian Newey said it only brought 3 tenths a lap. Ferrari are just making excuses for a poor car.

I know it was only 3/10's of a second or so, but at that stage of the season Ferrari wherent that far behind so it could have made a bigger difference to their final result of being 4th in the Constructors Championship

Didn't this season see the worst start to a season by Ferrari? 3 points from 4 races?
 
Ferrari's F1 outfit really REALLY let's the Ferrari brand down. They're full of sour grapes, cheats and liars who can't just admit that they're car and drivers were poor this year.....
