YES! Its official! Diffusers are legal in formula 1! Not that I doubted it anytime!

What does this mean?

• All the cars of the three teams (Toyota, Williams, Brawn) are legal.
• The teams and drivers retain their points.
• It is “in your face” for the big guns.
• Mostly all teams have come up with their own new diffuser designs so the diffuser effect will be invalidated over the next few races.
• This move including the big guns shows just how under-confident they were about winning the hearing. Not the “100% sure” attitude you expect from teams with apparently very high technical expertise.
• The upcoming races promises to be a thrill and actual competition between the brains behind the diffuser.
• Other strategies like KERS will now come to the fore. More on KERS later.
