The problem is more in the floor (and where the diffuser starts) than in the end of the diffuser isn't it?

The problem is more in the floor (and where the diffuser starts) than in the end of the diffuser isn’t it?

To me those seemed the most "creative" in their design. Steve Matchett is one of the best TV commentators right now. He really brings his experience from his Benetton days to light with such technical explanations. Good Job! Mahir, my thoughts exactly re Red Bull.

It is cynical of complaining about 3 teams' diffuser.

Wish there were more videos done like this. Only thing lacking was they didn't really explain the floor hole part of the controversy. Excellent video. Wish there were more videos done like this.

This drama has been dragging on for weeks and only NOW do we get a decent, detailed, technical explanation. (I don't think I missed one elsewhere, did I?). So mad props to SpeedTV (shame the video is in Mono) but unless there's similar coverage from this weekend's Chinese GP, I have to say I'm embarrassed that nobody else has done this before. The BBC coverage has been so good this season, so where is the Brundle Explains-type segment explaining in detail? Where are the interviews with the aero geeks? Having watched this video, I think the Toyota diffuser looks "least illegal" since it seems obvious they've just built a little extension down from their rear crash structure. The Williams and Brawn look more "creative" but since they're all legal now, good luck to the other 7 teams, who have a lot of work ahead of them. (though the theory is that since Brawn is faster than even Williams and Toyota, it ain't just their DDD that gives them speed. AND they don't even have KERS ahahahaha) FINALLY!

SPEED does a good job and they do little videos like this with Steve Matchett pretty often. That was a very informative and enjoyable video.
