After the hearing on 14th April in France, the diffusers could be declared illegal by the FIA and Brawn, Toyota and Williams could lose their points/podiums.

Dissapointing for Glock...one more lap and he would've won...
And very lucky for Heidfeld...even half a lap again and he would've ended up out of the points with his intermediates...
If nothin else, FA prove that he's still perhaps the best driver on the grid in a sh!t car...Renault still proving that they've got the best KERS setup of any team...

they would not take away the point or podiums even if they are deemed illigal, which by now has not happened and i suspect would not happen come the 14th.
Brawn: Ferrari, McLaren paying for 2008 success
Monday 6th April 2009
Ross Brawn reckons Ferrari and McLaren are currently paying for last year's success while his own Brawn GP outfit is benefiting from a dismal 2008.
Last year, fighting for the World titles, both Ferrari and McLaren were forced to concentrate their efforts on the continued development of their 2008 challengers and as such weren't able to turn their full attention to this year's vastly new designs.
This year, though, the situation is vastly different as, instead of leading the title races, McLaren have bagged just one point from two races while Ferrari have yet to even get off this mark.
"It is a reflection of what has gone on in the last year or two," Brawn told Reuters.
"McLaren and Ferrari had a Championship to fight over and I can understand that it was very difficult for them to say 'Look, we'll stop pushing this year and put our effort into next year'."
Brawn on the other hand had most of last year to work on the new car as it quickly became apparent that the 2008 Honda could not be a success.
"For us it was a very easy decision. It wasn't a clever one, just a very easy one. We didn't have a very good car so why waste time on it?" added Brawn, who has seen his driver Jenson Button win both this year's opening events.
The Englishman, though, is confident that both Ferrari and McLaren will be fighting for race wins and the title before too long. "They are both very strong and fantastic engineering companies so they will sort it out," he said.

I'm hoping this diffuser crap gets sorted soon so we can see more even battles...
The RBR team is crazy strong this year though, considering they are the only top team not using it...
The possible exit from Formula One of Mercedes-Benz is back on the radar, amid the 'lie-gate' McLaren scandal and the collaboration's relatively poor start to the season.
The German broadcaster Sudwestrundfunk reports that, on Wednesday this week, a shareholder's meeting of the Mercedes parent Daimler is scheduled.
The carmaker is currently haemorrhaging a reported $1 billion per month, so drastic cost-saving measures - like capping executives pay - are believed to be on the agenda for the April 8 meeting.
At the same time, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport Vice President Norbert Haug in Malaysia last weekend said there could be no guarantees about the future of the Stuttgart based marque in F1.
"If you're asking me 'are we here for the next ten years?' then everybody who is honest, and I am honest, cannot give you an answer about how the world, the car industry, the economical surroundings will develop," he is quoted as saying by GP Week.
"I hope it changes.

It's not easy for anybody but I hope it changes."
Haug was also asked about how the 'lie-gate' scandal together with McLaren's lack of competitiveness is complicating the decision.
The latest news on Monday is that the FIA is poised to summon McLaren Mercedes to the World Motor Sport Council to account for its behaviour over 'lie-gate'.
"Victories would be better than having discussions like these," the German admitted. "But we are clearly unhappy with the situation, as it is right now."
Max Mosley has revealed plans for a "world engine" that in 2013 would be capable of powering FIA categories including Formula One, World Rally Championship and Formula Two.
On a visit last weekend to the rally of Portugal he said: "It would work in turbocharged form for F1 and then all the way down to naturally aspirated form for the lesser categories and in a turbocharged or naturally aspirated form for the World Rally Championship."
The FIA President said the planning phase of the project is in its ‘very early days’, with the car manufacturers to be involved.
In the case of F1, he said ‘peripheral areas’ of the engine will be open for development, including KERS and other energy recovery systems to be introduced.

Asked for further information, he said energy could be collected not only from braking heat as at present, but "from exhausts and even from the cooling system."
Referring to the universal FIA engine, he added: "If we can - and I'm not sure we can - find a way of combining all forms of motor sport in that system then this would be useful because of the huge sums spent on motor sport."
) given that at Ferrari he had a huge budget and also some great characters around him, Jean Todt being the msot noticeable...he also had one of the greatest drivers ever in his car who could pull time out of his left butt cheek when necessary...

The tuned mass damper was introduced as part of the suspension system by Renault, on its 2005 F1 car (the R25), at the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix. It was deemed to be legal at first, and it was in use up to the 2006 German Grand Prix.
At Hockenheim, the mass damper was deemed by the FIA to be a moveable aerodynamic device due to the influence it had on the pitch attitude of the car, and hence, as a consequence, the performance of the aerodynamics.
The Stewards of the meeting deemed it legal, but the FIA appealed against that decision. Two weeks later, the FIA International Court of Appeal deemed the mass damper illegal.
