I guess that this assumption was made on the basis that most teams use low noses for their cars, therefore they are generally more efficient.

Are the brake ducts' diameter the same? Or the 08 design is much bigger? Or an optical illusion due to photo angle?? :D

2008 brake ducts are bigger . Keep in mind that brake ducts usually differ from race to race , and consequently from season to season .
