May 28 (GMM) BMW-Sauber at Monaco became the latest formula one team to fit aerodynamic wheel covers to its cars.
The German team's technical director Willy Rampf, however, cautioned that the outfit has so far identified only certain circuits where the device - fitted only to the F1.08's front wheels at Monaco - are an advantage."The results (of the wheel covers) are not consistent," he is quoted as saying by Auto Motor und Sport.Ferrari were the first to use front wheel covers, which do not rotate as they are attached directly to the central wheel fixture.Honda's recent addition of the covers was very conspicuous, as they feature the team's globe-style livery.
