Formula 1 car moves around the track, does that make it moveable aerodynamic device

JJanicke is absolutely right. The wheel farings are not classed as aerodynamic devices by the FIA, they are considered to be brake cooling-aids. If the FIA considered them to be aerodynamic devices, they would be banned, because they aren't rigidly secured to the entirely sprung part of the car and would therefore be considered moveable aerodynamic devices. Still, don't let your ignorance of the rules get in the way of a good bash.
