I wonder what the reason was for dropping the wheel cover display idea. Too gimmicky? Too much weight? Too complicated/costly to implement?
I'm betting weight. Teams won't even paint their cars but, here slap screens on the wheels lol
Plus added wheel weight is the worst kind of weight: unsprung weight. You donโt get to make changes to how that weight is distributed. Itโs just there, making your car perform worse.
They really need a rule that makes them paint the whole car, or ban having exposed carbon fibre. Half the grid looked ugly af last year.
