Sorry for my "chauvinisme", but could you change the name of your thread?
The name of the Castellet's track is Paul RICARD, not Paul Richard. It is a little bit shocking for french readers!
In fact, it is the name of a fantastic guy, who invent the RICARD alcohol (liquorice flavoured alcohol), so please write it correctly.
Thanks!

It was only a matter of time... They will want the cooling effect for Canada because it is horible on brakes, also the aero benefit.
the pic looks like there's a black shadow and a bit of rim seen through it with red BBS letter on silver rim - i.e. no carbon cooler
Get a better evidence

there seems to be different covers used on the front, there's only a few pics of the ferrari.
the main pair are full covers like on the rear with an odd cut out as seen on the bottom here....
As well as a more open pair with a more open aperture....

Sorry for that

That's why I thought it was just a shadow. I wonder if other teams would follow...

Where is the other horn and what is that thingy rounded with red elipse? Are they measuring something?

maybe they read the forum and want to see if the wing flexes that much

Just like to say woot Sutil. They must have found a real gain in setup to of gained a whole 3secs(Think from first day) and read a bit about Paul Ricard yesterday. God that track is advanced.
Also what advantage would the rim cover things on the Ferrari have on the front wheels? As I have read some where that due to the fact they are the turning wheels it wouldn't provide any advantage?

Hey, I don't want to sound stupid (but that cat's out of the bag) so what does the slotted nose do?

It brings cool air to the cockpit of the driver, basically there only form of air conditioning.
Also why is Mclaren running black? Two plane front wing or is it three plane, I think Canada and the U.S are med downforce tracks right?

its there low downforce spec for canada and america.
As for the nose hole, i hear one of the drivers say that having the whole there reduced the pressure in the nose which improved downforce. Anybody able to confirm this? (it might of been increasing the pressure, it was a long time ago i heard this)

Every time they use that hole they take off or reduce the size of the usual one on top of the nose. Does that slightly help aerodynamically?

Actually the slots would take in some air, which is for Aero purpose aswell....
it will reduce drag at the tip of the nose...I think i am right!
