Don't the fire extinuisher come on automaitcally when it detects faults/fire/smoke?
Sure that they said that it was the battery melting which caused most of the smoke. Nice! Kimi was probably hitting the radio buton, telling the team that he couldn't breathe!

Regarding the rear difuser, I can't see them banning it now. Not unless they let the teams keep their points. It was passed by the FIA before the season, then at Aussie, then at malaysia...and the teams' original protest was thrown out by the FIA.

Basically, the other designers have got the arse on because they didn't think of it, and know how far into the season its going to be before they get one on their cars themselves.
