The FIA willing to allow the diffuser blown during braking if there is unanimity among the teams


The FIA has given a new twist to the functioning of the blown during braking diffusers. The regulator of the formula one is willing to allow it if the teams agree on that. Agree they want to say that there is unanimity among them. Something which, a priori, seems quite apparently complicated seen.
In this way there is no limitation, 10% or 20% or 50%, would have total freedom to use it. This morning Christian Horner and Adrian Newey were nothing happy once they disregard his request to allow the engine to expel 50% retention. This came motivated by special permission that is the given Mercedes engines so that they can continue pumping gasoline at half of its cylinders with retention.
Red Bull was opposed to this measure because, they argue that the Mercedes get advantage of this fact, to have to somehow remove gases generated in these cylinders which are still in operation, four in total. In yesterday's press conference, Martin Whitmarsh stated that benefits as a result were limited. Christian Horner what matters is that it has its advantages, that is what counts. That is why they protested the decision this morning.
The official statement which can be read on the website of the FIA says:
If the teams so decide unanimously, the FIA is ready to adopt this agreement until the end of the current season.
With the fuss that has been formed, much it will cost a decision unanimous thereon. The twelve teams in formula one would have to row in the same direction. I fear that things look ugly to those who want to lift the ban. As any castling nothing that scratching.

Canada will allow the use of the DRS in two straight lines

As read it, in the Grand Prize Canada, the DRS may acvtivarse in two of its lines if we ignore The F1 Times. According to this medium, Charlie Whiting would have confirmed that in the Gille Villeneuve circuit there will be two areas of activation for the system, and Peter Windsor also commented it on his Twitter account. Peter Windsor, the journalist who comes to where no one else can get. Apparently, the condition to make this possible is that the two straight lines are straight, and another circuit that can "enjoy" this privilege would be Valencia.
Then, in the long line that runs before the chicane entrance to goal (and the wall of Champions) the DRS it will activate, closing at the time of halt to deal with the curve 12. To pass the wall of Champions without a scratch, pilots can again activate the DRS to deal with the line of goal with another new possibility to try an overtaking. The area of detection will be the turn 10 (fork), and thus we will have to last the small curve 11 the system will be the official ok.
In Valencia the use zone it is said that it will be between the curves 10 and 12, and between 14 and 17 of the urban layout. News surprising because until now we could see (by the less I) the use of the DRS as something quite limited (and sometimes badly positioned as in China), and check how on certain circuits use is extended to two straight gives me enough to think about. In addition, these two lines (in Canada) are consecutive, Yes, but are separated by a chicane that even though it is fast, continues to be an element of speed reduction.
Seems to me think that, in a move of overtaking in which the car to exceed b, the latter was her may return the following line to the car ahead of that. And I want to see how it evolves the race in these conditions because it gets to measure the distance, there is just a measuring curve. It is not necessary to be a second or less of the car that goes ahead. Correct? If not so, something I do not block either going to be the case that I just comment may not happen. I think that I've been busy.
Let us put a fictional case. Vitantonio Luizzi lies within 1 second behind Pastor Maldonado fight for tenth position. In the back straight, Liuzzi activates the DRS and beats the position Maldonado, who after the chicane entrance to goal decides to give the play by activating its DRS. Could it do so? That's the number 1 question. Question number 2 is, if Vitantonio Liuzzi is, past the curve 12 and 13, another car ahead of him, do can activate the DRS to move forward, or simply not because at turn 10 (measurement area) it was not within the regulatory time? Reasonable doubts for me right now, and If the two answers are "Yes" will see an incredible Grand Prize of Canada. And Valencia, also.
