In F1 news at the moment, theres a bit of a scuffle over Brawn Racing's new Diffuser Gate (google it).
Ok, ok...googling is too much for you...basically its a doohickey that makes the car considerably quicker than all the other F1 cars by doing something complicatedly technical to the airflow over the rear of the car.
The other teams don't like this, and even though race stewards have said that the diffuser gate is within the scope of the rules, they are protesting. To me, this seems a bit childish. But muuuUUUUuum! Its not fairrrr! Just because they thought of it first, spent a likely daft amount of money on developing it and managed to implement it in time for this season! boohoohoo!
If the FIA come along and ban this device, I'll be kind of pissed off. Not because I have a vested interest in F1 or Brawn Racing, but because I hate to see innovation stifled because of cry-babies who will likely be stealing the idea and implementing it in their own cars next season.
