Idiotic that they ban this system after declaring it legal first.".

The FIA has banned similar devices that control the movement of a car's chassis over the years. But the governing body initially felt the device in question was a part of the suspension and did not contravene that area of the rules.

But insiders say that, once it became clear its main role was to improve aerodynamics, banning it was a "no-brainer".

Article 3.15 of the F1 technical regulations requires that any aerodynamic effect created by the suspension should be incidental to its primary function.

It further states that any device that influences the car's aerodynamics "must remain immobile in relation to the spring part of the car".

An FIA insider said Lotus and Ferrari seemed unconcerned at the decision to ban the device.

Did HRT say anything about when their second driver will be announced? Which drivers are still in the running for that seat?
Liuzzi probably, VDGarde with his money, Ambrosio too I read and Clos because he's Spanish. Were other drivers mentioned too for that second seat?

Jacky Eeckelaert said a week or so ago that it was d'Ambrosio, Senna & Van der Garde in the running.

It looks very unlikely that Liuzzi will be retained. Giedo looks a dead cert.

However, HRT are looking dodgy regarding simply making it to Oz...

Thanks , I really hope it will be Giedo, curious how he'll do it in F1 if he gets the seat!
