The FIA Court of Appeal rejected the accusations by the other teams that the diffusers of the Brawn, Toyota and Williams cars are illegal. I will be looking at this in more detail in a full article tomorrow, so I’m just going to post the decision announcement here today. Suffice it to say for the moment that this means the 2009 F1 season can really begin - without the dark clouds hanging over whether or not the results of the first two races stand. This means we’re in for a really exciting time!
Here is the FIA announcement:
FIA INTERNATIONAL COURT OF APPEAL - DECISION
15.04.2009
The FIA International Court of Appeal has decided to deny the appeals submitted against decisions numbered 16 to 24 taken by the Panel of the Stewards on 26 March at the 2009 Grand Prix of Australia and counting towards the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship.
Based on the arguments heard and evidence before it, the Court has concluded that the Stewards were correct to find that the cars in question comply with the applicable regulations.
Full reasons for this decision will be provided in due course.
