It could be cable for changing angle of wings - simple mechanical device operated manually or by some motor or electrical magnet hidden inside nose cone.

Give them break........
If it was plastic tube how would it be able to rip CF like knife?
In other words - in order to rip off the CF it must have been strongly attached on both ends and be made of very strong material (at least what is running trough the pipe must have been strong).

I got a good look at a high res image of the mess, the tube does infact have an electrical wire passgn through it.
My assumption is that it is one of the load sensors in the drop plates mounting the wing to the nose. Using this the team can measure how much DF the wing is producing. It can actually detect the drop in performance of the wing when damage occurs (a smaller accident like endplate damage and not this mess...!)
I think we are getting a little carried away here.
Kryptonite rocket
Yeah, I doubt it.
More like a scud missile launcher, after all, Todd hasn't been to Krypton for at least three years now.

I would say it is a sensor, the camera could be right, but I have not see any races with the wing endplate's though, but it is stipulated by the FIA that they can have camera's there if they want.

Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

I think they would have to use lasers like the one we saw during winter testing on the Mclaren and I think it was tech analysis on the F1 website of the Chinese GP dont quote me, but I know they made a entry relatign to Renault using ride height sensors.

Jep... right... cable for camera or ride height sensor or whatever needs to be 6 or 7 mm thick and round because those devices require 380V 25A power source and cable capable for it.
Manchild. No offence but when Ferrari and Schumacher are concerned you are one hell of a cinical guy.
