Why is a disc on the outside any different to a duct on the inside of the wheel. It's a brake cooling duct. Story. End off.

Because the duct actually negatively impacts aero efficiency. That's why teams try to minimize the size of the duct as much as possible.

The brake cooling fairing improves airflow around the tires, reducing the drag they produce. The FIA actually introduced rules some time back to stop teams from building wheel/tire fairings.

Keep 'em coming!
