maby michelin wants to know how much sides or tyre really moves in high G-forces.. ;)

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

Nah, it's a new FIA test for tyre flexing - if it flexes too much, the inside of that black band has a razor blade attached ;)

no, it's a device that may calculate the airflow around the wheel, or measure the g-load. Could be also for a new wheelnut model :S

Its a high-tech device by michelin thats based on hours inside a windtunnel for optimum aerodynamic effect.

The basic premise is a potatoe peeler, and what michelin do is bolt a slick tyre on the car

After a few laps it comes back in again and thats how the grooves are made in the tyres
