Why two sides of the top part on F2001 are not symmetrical.

Post

I just found an interesint thing about F2001. As you can see in the photos, the top black T-part is not symmetrical (left end and right end). In my impression, racing cars always have a symmetrical shape. May I know the reason. Thank you.

If I’m not mistaken, that’s just the camera pod on the top of the intake. It’s not something that Ferrari designed.

Sometimes me correct me if I’m wrong.

Yep the rear cutout is for the rearward facing camera.

Yup a sort of kamback design, pun intended.
