Another wheel rim ring: Toro Rosso

By on

After Ferrari and Toyota, the modest Toro Rosso team is the third to have developed a wheel rim ring. The carbon element is glued inside the wheel rim, officially meant to improve brake cooling. Just like at Toyota, the device is not just a ring as it extends into the wheel in order to guide hot brake air out of the rim. It must be noted though that Toro Rosso is the first team to introduce this with Michelin tyres, meaning that we might see more teams introduce it in coming races, no matter what tyre they use.
