I still do not see why it can not be adjusted 'on track'. This is a brake duct, not an aero device. As a brake duct mounted to the hub it is allowed to be moved.
Main benefit of warming the wheel: pressure gain or structure temperature?

As someone said, the brake ducts are still part of the aerodynamic package of the car, as they are sculpted to help the airflow check ferrari's new brake duct design where it extends over the wheel to smooth airflow, the whole thing is deemed an aerodynamic device, and therefore can only be adjusted when the car is stationary.
I think.
Brakes running too warm: open ducts brakes too cold: close. Major benefit is temperature control.
