Well.. no alcohol or cigarette advertising on the cars since Turkey is mainly a Muslim society. New livery on Anthony Davidson's Car though
Yea, it's pretty extreme, almost blanks off the entire inside of the rim. There is a hole, but propbably to allow wheel changes.johny wrote:and what about ferrari new wheel rim ring? any pics?
I'm sure I've seen something similar in F1. Perhaps they're not removable?13.5.3 - Removable wheel/hub caps are not permitted.
yes, PO is one of the biggest companies of Turkey, and they have good products too.. cigarette advertising is prohibited in Turkey - but alcohol is not- and PO took the advantage of it.. they really mean to participate in motorsports it seemsTom wrote:I recognise the sponsor on the side of that car. When i went to Turkey PO was everywhere, their version of Shell I think.
Actually, that is Toro Rosso. Red Bull did not come up with anything like that yet. You might also want to check the development blog here: http://www.f1technical.net/development/12DaveKillens wrote:They aren't the only ones, Red Bull have something on their rear wheel too.

I do too, if they really were for brake cooling then they would obviously be on the front wheels as well. I think the reason they run them on the back is exactly because the brakes dont need as much cooling in the rear, and the aerodynamic effect of having a perfectly faired wheel rim is quite substantial...that's why the Honda Insight has the faired in rear wheel arches, I don't think the front matter as much because they split the airstream.I doubt they aid brake cooling this time, that hole is just large enough for the wheel changing equipment.
