Ferrari Mailing List: Re: *** SPOILER *** MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX *** SPOILER ***

[ken rentiers (rentiers]

I know the wheel covers are an aero device to cut down drag and/or  
cool the brakes. Hamilton had some similar device on his front wheels  
that was incorrectly replaced during a pit stop. . Since [Speedline?]  
Wheels is a sponsor, Ferrari were obliged to paint the fake wheels to  
satisfy their contractual obligations. How long before all the  
posers  out there with the 22 inch Spreewells start cruising the  
ghetto with big pizza pans obscuring the spokes? I even thought of a  
name!  Since they are attached to the wheel hub -why not call them  
hubcaps?
