It’s been a busy week in F1. Firstly, the diffuser row that has created such drama (both on track and off) was finally decided by the FIA Court of Appeal, which found in favour of Brawn GP, Williams, and Toyota. Of course, some people were less happy about this than others—most notably Flavio Briatore. As he was characteristically parsimonious with phrasing, we’ve naturally stuck what he had to say after the jump. Follow on if you wish to read more…;)

Bernie Ecclestone, at a press conference at Albert Park, yesterday.
Speaking out once again on the glaring lack of any North American races on the F1 calendar in the 2009 season and for the foreseeable future, Bernie Ecclestone claims there’s no one but the teams to blame.

And just what has he got to say? Follow the jump, my friends.

McLaren made a bit of news last week when they officially unveiled this year’s F1 championship contender, the MP4-24. While it was slightly later in the month of January than last year’s launch, and while it wasn’t nearly as auspicious numerologically (last year the MP4-23 was launched on Ham’s 23rd birthday), the team hopes to once again top the charts with its barn-storming choreography and flashy moves. Not entirely unlike a pop star, then. One can only hope Simon Cowell doesn’t become involved in young Lewis’ career, though.
But that was far from the only news in the world of F1 this week. Follow the jump for the rest of the news, as well as a full gallery of the MP4-24.
