From F1 Live:

Formula one is looking to ban wheel fairings for next season, Williams' Technical Director Sam Michael revealed at the Nurburgring.

With efforts to alter the cars to improve the likelihood of overtaking drawing a mixed analysis so far, the Australian said recent studies have shown wheel covers are proving problematic.

"One of the things that have been discussed for next year is to remove wheel fairings and not have static or rotating wheel fairings," Michael said.

He said Computational Fluid Dynamics studies in recent months showed the wheel appendages have ‘quite an adverse effect on the following car’. However, Michael said banning the covers will not be a silver bullet.

"It is the sort of thing where you need to find three or four little things like that and that will add up to a difference," he said, "so I think it is going in the right direction but it just needs more."

Good riddance, they are indeed ugly and pointless. It will probably encourage drivers to take care of their brakes even more.

I think they should just go back to last years cars and be done with it. You are never going to get rid of turbulent air and you are never going to get NASCAR style overtaking because in an f1 car you can't touch side by side without wheels falling off.

Also are the cars shorter this year or is it just an optical illusion.
