Red Bull ready to race double diffuser

Mon, 18 May 14:26:26 2009

Red Bull has succeeded in readying a 'double diffuser' solution in time for this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.

Until mere days ago, designer Adrian Newey admitted it was "touch and go" whether the RB5, featuring a unique pullrod rear suspension, could be modified in time to accommodate the controversial concept.

But team driver Sebastian Vettel has now been quoted by an Austrian television broadcast as confirming that his car will indeed have a double diffuser in the Principality.

The German, however, expects the true effect of the development to only become clear once the calendar moves on to the more conventional circuit in Turkey two weeks later.

Vettel told the ORF programme : "But if the diffuser helps us, then it will also help in Monaco."

Webber may lead for a bit but something will stop him from winning, a crash or technical problems i bet.

Might even be slower...... Don't think so, though.

I'm betting this give a big edge to RedBull as they have been faster than Brawn in the last two races anyway. I bet Webber takes the win in Monaco this weekend.

this will make the gap almost invisible between RedBull and Brawn.
should make for some interesting racing, my money is still on Button and Brawn.
