The FIA is confident the row over off-throttle blown diffusers will not cast a shadow over the rest of the season. The dispute, which came to a head at last weekend's British Grand Prix when Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and McLaren counterpart Martin Whitmarsh argued over its intricacies, led to two extraordinary meetings of the Technical Working Group to find a solution. As a result, there will be a return to the engine-mapping ban brought in at the European Grand Prix in Valencia. In a Q&A on its website, the FIA said: "All cars will run under 'Valencia' conditions for the remainder of the season. "We are optimistic there will be no protests over any engine mapping and exhaust tailpipe issues this season."I wish I knew more about this issue concerning the off-throttle blown diffuser technology. I've always operated under the mantra: "Its nice to be blown, but its better to be injected."
I can see mechanical challanges presented by the aeordynamic physics of raising the collapsing rear spoiler, but why is the 2011 diffuser rule so controverial?
I'm not understanding the fundamental premise...
I don't want to be a thread-Bogart, so if this already has been discused: please direct me to the proper thread.
this IS the thread for all things F1 that don't require a thread of their own, so yes this is the proper place
