Unless they are auditioning to use the car in a "remake" of the "Charriot Race" scene from the movie "Ben Hur".....

Let's hope that the France Family doesn't read this Forum...
since their fans enjoy watching cars "swap paint" and bang doors, they may add these beauties as "standard racing equipment" so that the competitors have the option of "ripping sidewalls of tires" while they're banging into each other |

Only guessing here but might it be a catcher so that Biela won't miss the petrol station this time?

It is interesting that it seems to be attached using bolts seperate to the center wheel nut, I wonder if they use special wheels for it?

As has already been said earlier, I'd guess at a camber gauge or toe gauge, but more expensive (also already said) and more accurate than the old fashioned bits of fishing line on a couple of poles!

From what i was told, it's exactly the same kit that you will see in any Audi dealership!!!! Seems if it's good enough for them, then it's good enough for the race team!

I think it's a handlebar to carry the car with 4 people from pitlane into the garage.

Oh, I know ! After several laps, this wheel will be used as a salad spinner.
