Brawn, Toyota and Williams Diffuser are Legal

After a series of appeals and protests, FIA Court of Appeal (ICA) has rejected it all and concluded the “double decker” designs comply the 2009 regulations.

This diffuser had gone through the race stewards both in Australia and Malaysia, now ICA.  Meaning that these three teams will have peaceful mind on the following race.

On the other hand, Ferrari having a headache as they are going to modified the existing F60 design.  They reckon that with the “double decker” design, the race machine will gain 0.5 second a lap.  However, it going to take time and involve R & D investment, we will not be seeing the revamped Ferrari in this coming China GP, probably in Catalunya, Spain or Monte Carlo which is 2 to 3 races from now, the soonest.

What will happen to the rest of the teams, perhaps they are not as rich as Ferrari, but I believe that with the clearance given by the FIA, the rest of the field will at least invest some time to improve their car on these.  We’ll see…
