Default What ARE Renault F1 doing here then??

Any guesses????

Any of the F1 Guru's (Cree, Rich Ralph, Lloyd Storey) care to explain?

It reminds me of those old cheap "have a go" put the money in the slot car things you saw on Holiday as a kid

I am sure they are sensors or something like that also. Certainly not something I think will be on the race car anyway.

Sensors sounds plausible - but what are they sensing? Interesting. In a nerdy sort of way.

Am pretty sure that they will be to monitor tyre temperature variation across the face of the tyre as the cars running.

A number of teams used to test regularly with similar devices in the past before the single tyre supplier rule came in.
