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!

So a moveable aero device that decreases performance is allowable, but if it increases performance, it's not legal? I thought ALL moving aero devices were illegal (even the stupid ones that would decrease performance.)
