Diffusers are Legal – FIA
Apr 15th, 2009 by Haas
The FIA has cleared the disputed rear diffusers of Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams as a legal interpretation of the 2009 rules. Race Stewards at the Australian Grand Prix had earlier rejected the appeal from Ferrari, Renault, Red Bull and BMW that the diffusers were illegal, forcing the teams to ask the FIA to verify the legality.
The statement from the FIA reads:
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.
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.
