Adrian Newey: "the prohibition of the blown diffuser we affect you much"

This weekend the current use of the Jet diffuser will happen at a better life with the celebration of Grand Prix of Great Britain. The European Grand Prix was the last time where such a system could use. This prohibition does not affect all teams equally, some will become worse than others.
Adrian Newey, technical director of Red Bull, believed that Red Bull kb7 will be seriously affected by the extent of the FIA. The British engineer has indicated that the design of the seat of the team of energy drinks revolves around blown diffuser, so it does not dispose of it are penalized. Remains to be seen to what extent will be affected.

I think that we affect you much because our car design revolves around the blown diffuser, is a key piece of the set. Probably with the exception of Renault and ourselves, the other has copied our design adapting the car in pre-season. Maybe that because of this, to spin our car on the diffuser, suffer more with the ban, although it is difficult to predict it.

Newey did not come to understand what the measure adopted by the FIA has been due:

I'm slightly frustrated because so far it has always been legal. Ferrari probably did not operate at all and they will be happy to lose sight of it.

To who believe? Adrian Newey or Helmut Marko? It should not be forgotten that this last a few days ago indicated that banning just them will damage that they have taken preventive measures.

GP3 Europe 2011: victories by Adrian Quaife-Hobbs and James vessels, Mitch Evans is leader of the Championship

This past weekend was held the third meeting of the GP3 2011 in Europe with WINS of Adrian Quaife-Hobbs and James vessels, although Mitch Evans is positioned as leader of the Championship, taking the place of Nigel Melker. RSC Mucke pilot had a weekend to forget, and is Evans, MW Arden, who now stands out from its rivals.
The first race saw quaife-hobbs, who came from the third position of the grid, as it stood at first position only a few seconds after booting, surprise friends and strangers. From there, he led with an iron hand until the finish line. Outside of that time, there is too much excitement in the race.
One of the animators was perhaps Dean Smith, who overtook Lewis Williamson in the output, like Quaife-Hobbs, and attempted to pressure the leader of the race, but in the end his car had problems, and lost some time, reaching the final in fifth position. The second race also saw a victory with the winner to head out to tail.
In this case it was James draught, which coming from the pole position ran away from his opponents and gave no option. From behind, this time we saw an interesting fight between Valtteri Bottas, Dean Smith and Alexander Sims. The Finnish defended from attacks by Smith, while Sims was waiting for a possible error. In the end it could tell you both.
Therefore, Sims occupied the second place of the podium ahead of Bottas. Mitch Evans won a fourth very fought, demontando from the back position, while the latest positions with right to points occupied them Gabby Chaves and Lewis Williamson. In general, this weekend, we have seen better careers than in Montmelo and Turkey, despite being in the Valencia Street Circuit.
The next meeting of the Championship will be in two weeks, in Great Britainin the Silverstone Circuit. The English quote will be that mark the arrival in ecuador of the Championship, eight runs in four meetings will be held, and will be missing other eight races at four meetings over.

Adrian Newey: "our KERS is in its infancy"

In the Grand Prize of Malaysia both Red Bull had problems with the KERS. In the case of Mark Webber, since the beginning of the test; you could even use it when the lights went out. Sebastian Vettel, meanwhile, met with them mediated the race, in the middle of the paseito returned in Sepang.
The flaws in this system is the only weakness of the untouchable Red Bull kb7. None of the two pilots of the team could enjoy the KERS during the whole of the Grand Prize. The technical director of Red Bull, Adrian Newey, realizes that his KERS has yet to improve.

The reality is that the system is in its infancy. We are not a manufacturer, so we need to develop the KERS ourselves, and it is not an area where we have specialized in the past. We are also doing so with limited resources, a limited budget and limited experience; We are still learning. The fact that we are still finding failures is that the system has yet to be improved.

The English engineer also clarified what happened to Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel in Sepang:

With Mark had a problem before the start that meant that he could not use it during the race, including the boot. He had a problem in the round of training, a new problem that we had not had before. With Sebastian had a problem that allowed us to continue using it, but for safety we think that it was better to turn it off and not to take risks.

By how the two Grands Prix have been developed in which far this season, the team not has missed much the KERS. It would perhaps to Webber not he have been wrong to improve their output, which are penalized by not being able to use it and that his rivals could do. Quite different is the case of Vettel, who he has hardly affected. A situation that could change if you have a meeting with a rival; the KERS, there may be a factor to be taken into account.

Adrian Newey: "McLaren improved copying our leaks"

In the past Grand Prize of Australia McLaren took that leap forward that he has once again put in positions of honor. At the moment, probably have the second best overall, after the untouchable Red Bull, and ahead of Ferrari. The improvements introduced by the Woking in Albert Park gave the expected result and result back in the ointment.
Adrian Newey, technical director of Red Bull, is very clear the reason for this great evolution, McLaren had copied the Red Bull exhaust system. A practice is not new in the Grand Circus. In the absence of ideas, the teams often take borrowed those operating of its rivals, see double diffuser or confucto-f, to cite the most recent.
The English engineer commented it upon receipt of the Segrave Trophy at the RAC Club in London:

McLaren took a giant leap forward by copying our exhaust system, that is what I have to say. We believe that to us is, but it seems that it also serves to McLaren. For us it is a compliment, but would hurt us then we will win with him.

I do not think that the team based in Woking is the only one to take given the idea of Red Bull. Williams hopes to have a system similar to the Chinese Grand Prix, and not be disposable more rivals caused to rise to the cart. Another thing is to the copycat give you such a good result to Red Bull and McLaren. The hurries are not good counsellors.
