    6 times. You can't forget about Toyota... I choose to ignore them lol.

    I'm not saying take their points away. They were deemed legal by the race stewards in Australia and Malaysia. But if they want more passing and closer racing they have to throw these diffusers out the window. If not, don't be suprised if we see quad diffusers really soon.

    This just in! Brawn, Williams and Toyota diffusers deemed out of regulation by the FIA; McLaren fined $15M and Hamilton banned for 3 races as a result.

    Try to understand the following: there is no such thing as spirit of regulations.

    No.

    They were never ILLEGAL, they have been legal all along.

    You said the original decisions "mean nothing" until the appeal is finished. This is not true. The burden of proof was upon the other 7 teams to overturn the prior 3 rulings showing they were legal. If you are convicted of a crime and you appeal, you are still convicted... the conviction doesn't go on hold until your appeal is finished. The burden of proof is higher on an appeal if you want to overturn a previously decided issue.

    The diffusers have always been legal from the beginning. 7 teams sought to overturn the three prior rulings, but were unsuccessful. The diffusers were legal to begin with and have been legal all along.
