Just FYI: I quite often use my feet as well, especially when it's about the rear diffuser

Apparently the Williams and Toyota diffusers are legal... so things could get really really interesting....
I have to say, that was a damn clever solution. Unless it gets banned of course

Controversial diffuser designs legal
Toyota and Williams within the regulations

Williams and Toyota believe their diffuser designs for 2009 are legal, and it is likely the FIA will not intervene, according to Motorsport Aktuell.

It was reported last week that rival teams expressed concerns about the legitimacy of the two teams' separate designs, after 'clever aerodynamic shaping' was used to sidestep the regulation about the maximum height of 175mm.

The Swiss publication claims however that the designs - while using a loophole for extra bodywork not intended for diffusers - conform to the letter of the technical rules.

Separate technical analysis published on F1's official website describe Williams' design as 'highly innovative', and Toyota's 'very interesting', as both use clever shaping of the rear crash structure to effectively increase the height of the diffuser.

It is believed that the teams in question, who are both powered by Toyota's 2.4 litre V8 engines, separately got clearance from the FIA about their interpretations of the 2009 rules.

The FIA has not confirmed publicly that the designs are legal, however, and an official protest can only be lodged by a rival team once the cars are presented for scrutineering in Australia late next month.

Can you see the big teams scrambling as we speak to come up with similar 'loopholy' solutions?

[Rivelution]

I dont see why teams are making a big deal about the diffusers? Have they ever seen one before?

because the Williams and Toyota collaberations interpretation will give them better speed and stability through the slow corners. Some teams may have considered a similar layout but thought it was against the new regs I'm sure once it's clarified come Melbournes first practice session we will see if there is protests! Nothing new for the first race of the seaon.

Further, it goes against the focal point of the new regulations; i.e. to reduce the amount of turbulent air in the cars' wake which makes it more tricky to overtake.
