The diffusers comply with the wording of the law, what the teams that have not made optimised diffusers are bitching about is the fact that they claim they don't comply with the spirit of the law, but then you could use the same argument to get rid of the ugly fences on the front of the sidepods of the Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Williams, Toyota, BMW, Red Bull, STR & Force India as end fences are allowed in the wording of the rules but go against the mandate of eliminating flip ups, bargeboards and turning vanes. The main problem for the teams that didnt take advantage of the diffuser regs to make an optimal design is that they can't just adapt thier cars to a copy cat design overnight as integral to this interpretation is the shaping of the rear crash structure, this would require a substantial re-design of the rear end to incorporate, so Williams, Toyota and Brawn have stolen the march on the rest of the teams in this area. I am hoping that the wording of the law is upheld and these diffusers are allowed the stay, it comes back to what Max was saying with his plans for budget caps - it should be about out-thinking, not out-spending!
