Yup, looks like it's blowing into the diffuser. I can see some protests and clarifications over this solution, it's clearly not what the FIA were looking for and it's easy to see how there is a lot of bodywork here that is just for routing the exhaust. That is something the FIA expressly said that they would frown upon.
I would expect that several other teams have already been on the phone to the FIA before deciding whether to start researching their own solutions.
What the FIA were looking for, and what a team can do, are completely different. As long as rules , as specified, are adhered to, there can be no protest. Also, both Merc and Mclaren have been trying to do something similar, and there is no talk of protests.
If no rules are broken, then what RedBull have done, cannot be protested on the grounds that FIA did not envisage it!
