Red Bull loses 0.5 seconds without blown diffusers: If but not


Helmut Marko things on the one hand and from what little I think I things that they involve technology in Formula 1, loss of performance and other ads when they come from the video team (read Ferrari, McLaren and RedBull Renault even when it's Mass Damper). The man who is behind important decisions in RedBull says that they will lose about half a second per lap from which prohibit blown broadcasters. And all because the aerodynamics will be embittered.
Let's see, if that is the case and there was nothing more, we could start thinking about a second much more disputed part of the Championship, but neither has taken into account to the rest of teams, or it is bearing in mind that there are more things that touch once banned the blown diffuser to think about RedBull is finished. Before proceeding, my impression is that Helmut Marko has done a great joke, but is the second part of the story to tell.

Anyway, we have made some preparations to neutralize this in terms of setup and aerodynamic measures. We are optimistic in the face to maintain our level of benefits
This is what is called a "do not say anything, but I say this to". When we were already thinking in what invest these five tenths second going to lose RedBull, us ends by saying that "gives equal, because we have taken measures". Equally, so seems a preventative to FIA slap (fudge) as a challenge to the rest of teams: "you alegreis not yet, that not we going to achieve".
Whatever it is, so we'll see from Silverstone. I personally do not think the thing to vary much, and in any case could vary as a maximum in the RedBull pass to win Street (with Vettel) to be sentenced to the second or third step of the podium with a victory. Goodbye Championship, goodbye. Measure implemented FIA, but to record anything more.

The Grand Prix of Great Britain will issue a ruling on the blown diffusers


Despite the prohibition of the engine map between classification and career change, there was no expected changes. Theoretically that should leave hurt with the measure, the Red Bull, returned to get a double. Charlie Whiting spoke of half a second difference, but everything seems to indicate that beyond an accounting difference, the secret of Red Bull is beyond of the engine map and rivals and FIA are still without having any idea of what it is.
For Grand Prix of Great Britain, the FIA banned the blown diffusers (expulsion of more than 10% of gases in braking) measure that should have a more negative effect on the single-seater for Milton Keynes but that will have negative effects on all the teams. For this reason, Stefano Domenicali said that Silverstone can see who is the main harmed following the decision of the FIA. It seems that some team leader is not so clear that the prohibition of the FIA will reduce the benefits of Red Bull. Perhaps then we discover some not awaited surprise.

The FIA, prepared to ban the blowing of the diffusers


As before we gladly note in the question of the week, said it was rumored, that blown broadcasters history came to an end. And it seems that according to the sources of Autosport this is already done thing, and at Silverstone is it going to end the freedom in this area.
I.e., at the British Grand Prix is over what was and Start effectively ban blown diffusers. As before, we wonder, will the overwhelming reign of Red Bull be? We go more into detail, because I refuse to think that so good at first, Red Bull will lose all the potential.
The starting date to activate the ban, the Grand Prize of Spain, was delayed in order not to force not controllable consequences for the equipment. But it seems to me that they have already had time for prepare for the eventuality, or at least that thinks the FIA that he will not wait more: from already the teams will be limited to use 10% of the engine in "retention" (the translation is not good, but in this case is the fact of having an exhaust flow without be speeding up no more than 10% if I remember correctly).
Does this mean? Maps of engine allowing the exhaust blowing as if the throttle was sticking may not set up on the floor at the moment that is loose the foot of the pedal. That is what makes the grip more thanks to those gases unless there is some traction. And by 2012 the thing it is not there, since the regulation will be revised so that it is prohibited to use blown diffusers (come on, blowers leaks).
This, for Stefano Domenicali is like rubbing the hands because although it is not clear how will affect this measure to the teams and their performance, at least gives the impression that it may be a good thing to homogenize the Championship and secure a competitive environment to all, but in the case of Domenicali Ferrari comes well this measure. We'll see at Silverstone.
