I assume that they allow mechanics to reach the tyre valve to measure the tyre air pressure

I'm assuming that just because Toyota went to all the trouble to manufacture them, that they are not illegal. I believe that just like Ferrari's original disk, they are "considered" part of the braking system, and thus the rules for wheels does not apply.
Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.

This time it's obviously beneficial for brake cooling, unlike other 'cooling' solutions :^o

Toyota tried the same 2 versions which were used for Bahrain as well . The team finally chose the smaller flap design ( the same version used for Bahrain race )
