Is that right.

To be honest I don't thing that the speed of the Prawn car is all down to the diffuser. And Vettle (and sometimes Webber) seems to be keeping up without one.

Stick one on the Renault, Mclaren, BMW or Ferrari and they'll still be slower.

oh yeah, the braun is quick, very quick.

The diffuser makes a difference though, even if its a small one, it gives them an advantage over the others. Be interesting to see the redbull with one on!

This is FORD country, on a quiet day you can hear Vauxhalls rusting.

Although I know Max has a thing against Ron - I dont think the result would be any different.
The FIA's aim seems to be to keep the championship close and exciting, and it just happens to always be Lewis who is the one to be penalised to keep it close. If it was massa walking away last year, he'd have been poked by the FIABanstick I'm sure.

I think if it was just one team running the trick diffuser, it would of been a different outcome.
I think they have realised it is good for the sport to have 3 lesser teams kicking the dominance of ferrari & Mclaren. Brilliant news though!

So ahead of another (early) weekend of F1 we have had some developments. The diffuser is legal, as a result both McLaren and Renualt have changed theirs. Ferrari have also ditched their KERs unit (maybe just for this weekend, im not sure)

Speaking of Mclaren Ron Dennis has quit the sport? will this do the team good? i think so as it will take away the constant fighting with him and Max.

Jenson was fastest in second practice aswell!

Well done to Red Bull, top result. Shame weather wasn't warmer for the Brawns and their tyre issue. Bagged some points which is good. :)
