Can anyone enlighten me, please.
Are Ferrari running with beadlocks fitted, or, are there pit-crews so good they can whip off (and refit) wheel trims ?

I think they have a clever wheel trim that stays static when the wheel is spinning, you sometiomes see shots of it but not often enough to work out what's going on.

For the last couple of years Ferrari have had clever brake designs that have helped them keep ahead of the field and I think this is part of another one.

I think it's something to do with wind drag. It probably helps them in straight line speed.
