Ferrari reveals revised - and legal - Halo mirrors

Ferrari has tweaked the mountings of its Halo mirrors which no longer feature the controversial winglet assembly seen in Barcelona.

The FIA outlawed the Scuderia's radical design during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend, but allowed the team to keep them mounted on the team's SF71-H for the duration of the event for practical reasons.

The assembly was seen by the governing as potentially providing aerodynamic gain, and in opposition with its directive stating that the mirrors "provide a meaningful structural contribution to the mounting system" and "be mounted to the lower and/or inboard surface(s) of the mirror housing".

Ferrari's new design still features Halo-mounted mirrors but without the contentious attached winglets.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
