Ferrari certain wheel fairings are legal

The 248 F1 was fitted with the brake cooling devices at Turkey, having originally appeared in the season-opener at Bahrain.

As autosport.com reported earlier this year, a rule clarification issued over the winter allows teams to fit bodywork on the inside area of the wheels.

And despite Renault's mass damper system being outlawed mid-season, Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn has said he is adamant there will be no repeat scenario with Ferrari's design.

"That area of the car was very well defined in the regulation change that happened over the winter," explained Brawn.

"We've discussed it with the FIA. If someone comes along with a different opinion, then like with the mass damper the FIA could take a different view.

"To the best we can, we've kept the FIA informed of everything we are doing and asked if they are comfortable with the solutions we've found.

"That's only an opinion and, if a team chooses to object, there is a process to go through. At least today, the FIA are happy with the system, and unless there is a different perspective that someone has about the devices, it should be OK."

Brawn also insisted that there should be no suggestion that the devices fell under the 'movable aerodynamic device' banner, because they provided no more benefit in that area than normal brake ducts.

"I think that all brake ducts I would say have an aero benefit," he said. "You have to provide cooling at the minimum cost. They are all involved and part of the aero package.

"I don't think anyone is designing a brake duct that's not taking into account aerodynamics."
