Again a Honda-related short one here: 1965 Mexican GP was the first GP victory for Honda as well as Goodyear tyre; which manufacturer (supplier) else recorded their first ever GP victory in this race?

During practice for that French GP of '75, Ferrari experimented with several modifications - one was a different front wing. A year later, again in Le Castellet, they again run practice sessions with a modified aero at the front of the car. What's special about that front wing tested on the 312T, and what was the modification on the 312 T2 about?

It had "rocket" end plates? I would guess for lower drag.

Yep, that's a correct answer up to part one of the question, concerning the 312 T (pictured above - not sure though if those 'rocket'-endplates were just about drag...)
As for the part still unanswered - now what got developed for the 312 T2 by the following year in Le Castellet?
Whoever completes the answer, gets the go!

It had small deflectors in front of the front tyres.

That's it! Those were 'brake duct extensions' intended to be raced, but ruled out as "movable aerodynamic parts". - Very nice pic SiLo, your turn!

What famous hairpin is this? People drive past it everyday and will probably never know.
