Blown diffusers ban good for small teams says Symonds
« on: January 17, 2012, 08:27:01 PM »

Tail enders with just quarter RBR's staff find difficulty in extreme solutions.
A lot still rests on Pat's shoulders, after two years at the bottom of the heap an improvement is a must. 


Former Renault technical boss, Pat Symonds, now working with Marussia, believes the ban on blown diffuser technology will aid the smaller teams this season.

Symonds, who lost his job with Renault, and was temporarily banned from the sport for his role in the Crashgate saga, is now a consultant with Marussia, formerly Virgin, which has finished last in the standings in the last two seasons.

"The major change for 2012 is the fact the blown diffuser is going away," he told fans at an exhibition in Birmingham at the weekend. "For small teams like ours that is not a bad thing. It was difficult to understand and make work, and the new regulations make things a little bit easier.

"Marussia in total employs about 170 people, compared to about 650 for Red Bull and 550 for Lotus and Mercedes. It's an enormous challenge, and we have a mountain to climb," he admitted.
