Court set to reach F1 diffuser verdict

PARIS: F1's international court of appeal met on Tuesday to decide the legality of the Brawn GP car that took Jenson Button to victory in the first two races of the season.

Champions Ferrari, Red Bull, Renault and BMW-Sauber have appealed against stewards' decisions in Australia and Malaysia that the rear diffusers used by Brawn, Toyota and Williams were legal.

A verdict is not due until Wednesday afternoon, by which time the teams will already be in Shanghai preparing for Sunday's third round of the season in China.
