Ruling on F1 diffuser row could cause disarray

The Formula One championship could be thrown into disarray Tuesday when motor racing's governing body rules on the legality of a car part that has helped Brawn GP's Jenson Button win the opening two races.

Ferrari, BMW Sauber, Renault and Red Bull have all lodged appeals to FIA against the stewards' decision in Australia and Malaysia to allow Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams to race with rear diffusers that possibly breach new aerodynamic regulations.

The three teams have dominated the opening two races because the diffusers _ an under-car device that channels the flow of air from the front to rear _ help create greater downforce through corners.
