Brawn GP Diffuser: Ruled Legal

[Iced_Bullet]

Button has piloted his Brawn to victory in the first two races of the season.

 

Motorsport's governing body, the FIA, has ruled the Brawn GP car, which has taken Briton Jenson Button to two wins this season, is legal.

 

A panel heard eight hours of strongly worded evidence on Tuesday after complaints that Brawn, Toyota and Williams, use an illegal diffuser.

And the five International Court of Appeal judges said the designs "comply with the applicable regulations".

 

 

 

All three teams are free to race in the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.

"The decision comes as no great surprise," said BBC Radio 5 Live Formula One commentator David Croft.

 

 

 

"Already this season two sets of stewards, an FIA president and an FIA race director have thought that the diffuser design of Brawn, Williams and Toyota was OK.

:excited:

 

A supremely satisfying moral victory. Down with Ferrari! Yeah!

[TDU 505]

Anyhoo let see how long till the other teams copy that design

[Nodz86]

Thank god for this, but Red Bull have been looking into how to adapt this to their car and have been ever since Brawn started using theirs

[TimBud]

The Ferrari board of bad losers are appealing though...

But I imagine because Hamilton/McLaren aren't on the accused bench, that it won't go through.

 

I bet Ferrari and McLaren will have new diffusers this weekend though.

[Nodz86]

How can Ferrari be appealing?? This was the appeal and they lost, even red bull who originally and who this desicion effects the most has started to make their own one so I have no idea what Ferrari are thinking, apart from acting like sore loosers

You tread in dangerous waters, my friend. :evil:

 

But, in all honesty, I hope Ferrari clears their heads and develops their own diffuser, which will probably be just as good, if not better.

Just what I heard, might not be true as you say... but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Freedom of speech, okay. I'm sick of fanboys that can't accept to loose...If you aren't, sorry then.;)

Agreed. 3 races behind and 2 were brawns ownage. I'm getting bored if its just Brawn/Redbull on the podium.

:oook: Hows that?, It certainly makes for a completely different season, And i'm sure when ferrari and mclaren etc all get their act together it will make for one very close championship. I think its refreshing to see new drivers and new teams on the podium :)

[TDU 505]

Agreed. I was getting sick of the Brazilian anthem played over 6 times! :p

But still, much better than Hamilton's five..

 

Go Brawn! Go Red Bull!

[superhyper]

I mean I don't have anything against them,but it's just that if Brawn keeps going like this,I just haven't got any reason to keep watching F1. The best thing would be that every team would be as good as each other so it wouldn't be just few teams on the podium. It could be Fisichella or Piquet winning the races. But I sure do hope that even some other teams would get their car working and fight for the victory.

[TDU 505]

With all the changes going on, and the potential the giants like Ferrari and McLaren and even BMW, I simply cannot predict that Brawn is going to win win win as easily as they did.

Its just impossible to say that Brawn WILL win. Its like Manchester United and Chelsea, not like ManU and uhm, Hull City?

[Who]

i'd be pissed off if they only covered brawn and red bull, sure (what is this, the WRC? where the 2 fastest AND ONLY the 2 fastest get airtime) but they dont, red bull and brawn duke it out upfront but the cameras spend loads of time out towards the middle of the pack where the action was happening, especially in the chinese GP, where McLaren, Torro Rosso, Renult, Force India, ferrari were changing places like mad for the small points. there was loads of coverage of the stuff and it made for great racing!

[superhyper]

I'm a ferrari fanboy! :D
