La Stampa says Game Over for Ferrari as RBR perfect difusser

Game over Ferrari
Technical point: the Red Bull has managed to create the aerodynamic effect in a legal manner prohibited by the regulation. For opponents, the Ferrari down, no match
The triumph of Vettel in Singapore reduced nearly to zro the hopes of Ferraari. In technical point of Paul Filisetti here is how does the Red Bull to go so strong, especially in circuits with high downforce.
"After qualifying, we had noted what was the technical gap that separated Red Bull and Ferrari, analyzing RB9 the fact that you are in the course of the season proved to be an extremely long-lived cars, in terms of margins of development. We have alleged, among the causes who made this possible, the cast of technical regulations in recent years. Such opinion, after the race in Singapore, is even more strengthened, and at the same time the result, but also the way in which Vettel won, provide us confirmation that a clue on which we had based our ratings starting from Monza, proved exactly the key point of the competitiveness of RB9. I am referring to the speaker that was changed between Spa and Monza, now presented in its final form. In particular, this element is deeply modified in the side channels, where, in particular in correspondence of the outer, its terminal part diverges strongly outward, creating a true venturi profile.
Looking at the detail of this change on the starting grid at Monza and then here in Singapore, it was possible to note how its middle section is perfectly integrated to the position of the tailpipes, while the side sections correspond exactly to the position of "skirts heat "generated by the discharges themselves. In essence, it is clear that this element has been optimized to create that blow otherwise prevented by regulatory measures that tended specifically to avoid that produce this effect. In essence the RB9 are equipped with a diffuser fed to perfection by the air flow that is channeled into it using the heat of the exhaust gas.
Of course this is a completely regular, not at all comparable to the double diffuser of Brawn GP in 2009. The effects, however, against all opponents are devastating. The Red Bull on a high downforce track traveling on the tracks, with a speed of cornering is superior to others. Basically in Milton Keynes have reduced the time transient at best, relying on optimum traction in all conditions. Such a superiority that leaves annihilated especially at this point of the season, where usually the gaps tend to decrease rather than increase. For Ferrari, still mathematically in the title fight, it remains a moral obligation not to give up, to seize the opportunity in the event of defaillance opponent. The failure of the change of Webber, in fact, may be an alarm bell for reliability, but realistically in Maranello know that they can not rely on this assumption in the next six Grands Prix. Technically speaking, the race in Singapore has ruled the GAME OVER. "
