Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali says he is unsure as to what the effect of the off-throttle blown diffuser ban will be for the front running teams.
The FIA has banned the practice of using the engine to blow gases through the diffuser when off-throttle, with the new regulation coming in to effect at the British Grand Prix. With championship leaders Red Bull believed to have mastered the concept all of the teams are speculating as to what the effect may be on the RB7.
Red Bull's chief designer Adrian Newey has admitted that he believes Ferrari and Mercedes will suffer less than his team, but Domenicali said he was reserving judgement until he sees results on the track as he believes every team will lose out.
"I don't know what is going to happen there in terms of what the effect on the performance of our car will be, on the Red Bull and others," Domenicali said. "Normally Red Bull are very strong because Silverstone is a high-speed track, so we need to wait and see. It will be interesting.
"We will find out if the technical changes recommended by the FIA change anything or not. Everyone will lose a bit in terms of performance, so it's a case of seeing who pays the highest price."
