I've still not forgiven Schumacher for blatently taking out Hill in Adelaide 1994.

I was so gutted for Hill.

Indeed, champions win it clean and dirty, even the great Senna.

Another disappointing quali for Mclaren and yet more bad luck with Hamiltons puncture. SV will win the championship tomorrow and the rest of the season will be a boring battle for 2 & 3rd... :undecided:

There's amateur video and pictures of the underneath of the red bull as it was lifted up in a crane, apparently showing a floor hole which generates a lot of downforce.

Im not an F1 engineer but there is more to the rear diffuser than meets the eye at the rear, as Khare said a lot of downforce is generated underneath the car (like an upside down rear wing). With cars this year running blown diffusers aswell (exhaust gases blown across it to generate more downforce) there is a variety of different methods used throughout the pit lane with RB appearing to be the best. Hence everyone having a wank fest when the underneath of Webbers car was hoisted up for all to see.

This video was put up on YouTube but obviously as now been taken down. For the geeks out there here is an analysis of the rear diffuser - http://scarbsf1.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/red-bull-monza-diffuser-analysis/

Will Lewis ever get a break this year? Me thinks not  :rolleyes:
