For a brief moment on the qualifying build up, (for Singapore) (BBC) they had mentioned that adrian newey was furious about some leaked photos and videos of the RB7's underside from webbers crash on monza. I have yet to find one damn article, image or video about it.

Help? :bs:

It was Adrian Newey's face painted on the underside of the car

But more than likely it was just the shape of the floor and diffuser that Newey and RB didn't want anyone to see!

There were a lot of uploads to Youtube of one particular video, but they've all been closed down. This is one I had:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swoomrzECdM

Some claimed the RB7 is using a double diffuser see highted parts of this image:-

There were also people who claimed the video clearly showed illegal holes through the floor of the RB7.
Here is a surviving article, but you'll need to brush up on your Italian. It also has links to a few videos but they have all also been closed down.

If there was anything as crude and obvious as additional holes in the floor or a double diffuser, then how would the cars pass scrutineering?

I'm sure there's a few teams that have watched Webber's car being lifted up and away at Monza trying to find out

They wouldn't pass scrutineering with a double diffuser or holes in the floor.

Just angry non RedBull fans looking for a reason why they are winning.

The secret as it turns out is good design.

Help?

I think he's furious since for him the cars he designs are like his lovers. How would you feel if leaked photos of your lovers' undersides are all over the net? Give the guy some pity man. :rolleyes:

I'd say he needs to go take it out on webber for crashing his lover into a wall.

Any way to see the video? any other mirrors for it?

Never be afraid to voice your opinion, even if your going against the grain of popularity.
