BAR Frontend
What does everyone suppose this is for? Keeping the driver cool?

I think it is for keeping the driver cool. A lot of the cars have them (McLaren for one). Quite a few have a little grill too.
Some just run them at the hotter races. That one could almost do with some lippy! It's not normally as obvious. |

Who the hell came up with that name? Interesting that I have never seen that before. Makes sense I guess...

There is a hook in there, with a tow rope to pull out. FIA mandated it for JV's car, given that it is unlikely to ever finish. Makes it easier to drag away.

I thought it was for cooling the shocks as well as the drivers feet. It must get pretty hot in there without it with the closeness of the two brake discs and the fact that there is no airlow, assuming the aeor guys have done there job elswhere

If you don't have anything relevant to say, don't speak.
