FIA 說 Red Bull 除了洞不合法之外，某剎車冷却系統也有空力作用不合法，
所以在加拿大站前 Red Bull 除了把洞補起來之外，連車輪軸也被迫改掉了。
不過這看起來好像真的是愈改愈快呀 XD

FIA tell Red Bull to change brake cooling
Red Bull has made changes to the design of its wheel hubs at the
Canadian Grand Prix after the FIA found that holes used for cooling
the brakes were also having an aerodynamic effect on the car.
Under the technical regulations any part of the car influencing
aerodynamics must be "secured to the entirely sprung part of the car".
The wheel hubs and the brake ducts are not supported by the suspension
and are therefore defined as an unsprung part of the car and must not
be designed to influence aerodynamics.
Red Bull reportedly argued that its brake ducts and hubs, which have
been on the car since the first race, were only designed for cooling,
but the FIA does not agree. The team has had to make changes as a
result, including filling in some of the holes.
The wheel hubs are the second change the team has had to make to the
RB8 since Monaco after the FIA said that holes towards the rear of the
floor of its car did not comply with the regulations. Despite the
changes, Sebastian Vettel set the fastest time during final practice
in Canada on Saturday morning.
