Depends on how and why it's been used.

If it happens to be used as cooling, even if it's a secondary use, then it will be legal. Ferrari used the "cooling" as the reason for their wheel frisbees, which they patently weren't but it was unprovable.

If it is solely for aero gain, then like the Ferrari nose duct of 2008 it will be outside the current regulations as the body must be free of aero gimmicks.

I doubt the aero boffins at Paragon would be daft enough not to have followed the letter of the law....or at the very least a provable interpretation of the letter of the law.

As for the spirit of the law....well, that doesn't exist except for in the minds of F1 forum dwellers.

Sauber looks very very strong!

Quali yes, not sure about race pace due to fuel loads. Certainly a car that looks to fight with Brawn for best of the rest.

Haug is part of Mercedes - what can he say?

Coulthard is not a member of either team. He can say anything he wants.

Fastest or quickest? I assume you mean quickest: the worst case scenario for Rosberg - the entire pitlane will be shocked :eek:

Embarrassed? I don't think being beaten by Schumacher to pole is embarassing. If the car is capable - Schumacher can still spring a surprise.

Although if he is quickest, no doubt there will be requests to check the timing equipment :D

It was a close season last year although not as close as in 2008 or 2007.

Good on Hulkenberg - nice to see him give the finger to Alonso in "the best car he has ever driven" - why doesn't he drive it that way then? :-/

Give it a rest on the whole best car thing! We are not privy to fuel loads tyres or objectives of each run. I'm thrilled to see Williams up there, but with every team saying Ferrari look strong - possibly the strongest - so why are you constantly putting Alonso's comments down?

Alonso has specifically said that even though it is the best car he has ever driven, it does not mean that it is the best car on the grid.

Having said that, Ferrari are looking good.
