Notice that it does not immediately obstruct the camera, there is a hole cut out in the housing. Other teams use similar devices.
Both examples would block line-of-sight between camera and steering wheel.

Vortexes form at the tip of a surface though. This highlighted area just indicates laminar upwash.roon wrote: ↑19 Sep 2018, 02:03https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DnC4CI0X4AA9rMs.jpg:large

Looks like a near vertical vortex forms inside the endplate, sprouting from the first main louvre.
I bet those fins work pretty well. Considering they would fill pretty much all of the small gap between the brake shroud drums and the wheel, and spin upwards of 3k RPM. I'm still curious as to whether ambient temperature air or heated brake disc exhaust flows through this small gap. Brake drum/cake tin designs seem to vary quite a lot, and sometimes it looks like ambient air is being ducted in, and other times it looks like brake disc exhaust is being vented there. Usually people say they're trying to heat the wheels in order to heat the tires, others say they're trying to cool the tires by cooling the wheels.
