Hispania team boss Colin Kolles believes the controversial blown diffuser system used by most teams this season should be banned for the next race in Monaco.
Kolles threatened to protest the use of the aerodynamic devices at Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix – which was won by bigfreebet favourite Sebastian Vettel using the system – but will now lodge a complaint ahead of next week’s race in Monaco.
Vettel's Red Bull team, who big free bet back for the world championships, pioneered the device thanks to engineer Adrian Newey.
The argument centres around a new type of diffuser in 2011 that blows hot air and gasses to the rear of the car even when drivers are not accelerating to dramatically increase the levels of downforce available.
Kolles insists the system is against the sport’s regulations and says he has written FIA President Jean Todt a letter asking for blown diffusers to be banned immediately.
"We have written a letter to the president of the FIA asking for the exhausts to be banned immediately because they are against the regulations.” He told Press Association Sport.
"The letter has been signed and sent. I'm obviously expecting a response before next weekend's race. If there is no change then we will have no other choice but to protest."
The case will be heard before next Sunday and has the backing of FIA technical delegate Charlie Whiting according to Kolles.
The team owner believes the diffuser breaks the ruling that drivers are not allowed to manipulate the aerodynamic properties of their cars from the cockpit.
“When you have a blown exhaust, and you are on full throttle, it blows air into the diffuser and you have more downforce. But now the blown exhaust has been taken to a different level where cars are able to use hot gases when they are off the throttle.” He explained.
"So you are influencing by use of your foot the aerodynamics, and not only by the use of your foot, but also the valves and pistons inside the engine.”
"They are moving, but you are not allowed to use anything that moves to influence the aerodynamics. It has to be all fixed. That is very clear." He added.
