i don't get why thats blanked off?


Possibly to control the airflow more? I dunno. I don't really understand the diffuser technology too much. But I'd have thought having something lying at a right-angle to the direction you're travelling would generally create extra drag. :confused:

it looks like the carbonfiber wishbone suspension is angled to where it is causing lift???

Yeah, i'd guess Renault are still around the level of Toyota (4/5th fastest so far it seems), but if anyone can drag a victory out of an inferior car it is Alonso, as we have seen many times!

Indeed, which I why I feel he can fight for the title this year - with a bit of luck in the early races. If this really is a season where many teams can win... then surely it is going to be able to keep Alonso in the title fight for a while at least.
However It'll take alot. And as an Renault and Alonso fan i'm being conservative. Certainly it'll only ever be one Renault in the points on a regular basis if any ;)

That's not saying much. It's still ugly as sin.

What happened to the team which designed this?

I can't help but feel that that nasty block thing under the nose of the Renault was there as a hasty response to them failing the crash tests. i would imagine they have found a better solution now.

As for McLaren's diffuser, it doesn't look like they've gone the way of the Brawn, Toyota or Williams.

For a better understanding of the 2009 diffuser regulations and the controversy surrounding the Williams, Toyota and Brawn devices, this isn't a bad site http://www.formula1.com/news/technical/
