Tiesto feat Kane - Rain down on me

I think their diffusers are absoulutely legal, they just understood the rules in an other way, than others. So, I hope the 3 teams won't be penalised. I also hope that the McLaren team won't be disqualified from the 2009 season, just because of a lie.

Also they wanted a late day race. Clearly F1 needs a meteorlogist on staff, he would have pointed out the stupidty of that idea.

It's the way the FIA allocated it on the F1 calender. Back in 2000, it was at the end of the season and the race was dry then.

The whole idea of Grand Prix cars over the years has been the improvements in the design of engines, chassis, and suspension to get that extra out of the cars, and it has been up to all team designers to keep their cars on the front row with new ideas.

I can't remember this amount of interference from bodies like FIA when engines moved from the front to the rear, or the first wings appeared. Can you imagine the committee meetings taking place today in Paris if a six wheel Tyrrell appeared ?
