Given the huge amount of regulation changes that have been put in place for the 2009 season, there has certainly been a re-shuffle to the pecking order on the F1 Grid.
The new regulations have given all of the teams a chance to put there creativity to the test and find innovative ways to interpret these regulations. The most notable of these creative developments so far has been the "Double" diffuser that was employed by Brawn-GP, Toyota and Williams.
This seems to have been a huge advantage as the only team that were able to keep up with them was the Newey-Designed car of Red Bull Racing. All of the other teams apart from McLaren and Force India objected to this interpretation of the regulations and promptly filed for an appeal, even though the design had already been approved by the race stewards. The appeal was refused and this led to most of the teams to beginning to invest in designing a double difuser of their own.
