Quote:
The FIA International Court of Appeal met yesterday in Paris to hear an appeal lodged by Ferrari, Red Bull and Renault. The three teams were appealing against decisions taken by the Panel of the Stewards on Thursday 26th March 2009 in Melbourne.
Prior to the race the three teams submitted protests to the Panel of Stewards arguing that the cars of Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams did not comply with the Technical Regulations.
The dispute related in particular to the diffuser design used by the latter three teams. The Panel of the Stewards rejected the protests submitted. The protesting teams then appealed the Stewards’ decisions and were joined yesterday in Paris by McLaren, Brawn GP, BMW Sauber and Toyota who give their accounts to the Court.
The International Court of Appeal announced today that the diffusers designs run by Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams are legal and therefore the results from the opening two rounds of the championship are now confirmed.

"The FIA International Court of Appeal has decided to deny the appeals submitted against decisions numbered 16 to 24 taken by the Panel of the Stewards on 26 March at the 2009 Grand Prix of Australia and counting towards the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship," a statement released this morning read.
"Based on the arguments heard and evidence before it, the Court has concluded that the Stewards were correct to find that the cars in question comply with the applicable regulations."
"Full reasons for this decision will be provided in due course."

I can't wait for this weekend now, got ONE HD now lol finally.
no doubt, ONE HD ftw! And I thought last years coverage on 10HD was good. No more staying up until 2-3am to watch races and going to work dead as! Although if I didn't stay up then I'd watch the races on the "internets" but it isn't anywhere near as exciting when it isn't live...
Shanghai this weekend......... will/can the band wagons be a threat to Brawn, Williams and Toyota???
just checked tv guide... dun think they'll be showing quali on ONE..
anyone know where u can watch it online??
the diffuser legal or not, there are pros and cons.
PRO: is that it mixes up the whole field, the fairytale of a "new" team dominating, making ppl think u can join f1 n be competitve straight away....good marketing.
CON: it contradicts the rule changes, the cars are meant to have less downforce, less turbulence for the cars behind and thus making it possible to overtake. but by having the double decker diffuser it creates more downforce on the rear and more turbulence, thus less overtaking and we're back to square 1.
Ross Brawn has already mentioned that the rules are too grey, they need to be more refined to stop things like this happening. He's warned them, they ignored him and now he's taking advantage of it.
He's right, if the rules are not more specific, the cars are just gonna start having sh!t hanging off it to create more downforce. They'll just start to look like last years cars again.
BMW boss Mario said the teams with the DD diffusers are going around croners faster than they were last year. So by making the diffuser legal, it doesn't really make sense.
f1s more about politics these days...
i swear.. max n bernie should be ousted... either that or FOTA start a new series ...
