[Comment From nihil nihil : ] 
is there any effects of the performance of red bull about the new regulation on diffuser relative to other? ED - As it is a wet session, it is impossible to compare. Only in a dry session that we may get an idea

[Comment From tasy tasy : ] 
yeahhh..new regulation on diffuser will make all effect performance of all teams... ED - Yes it will affect all the teams but some teams are expected to be affected more than others
