The commentators used to call them "Dumbo horns". They're modelled by supercomputers to divert air away from the cockpit and over the winglets/sidepod. I'm pretty sure BMW Sauber started using them, then Honda, then after Silverstone, McLaren.

Haha. He is a great guy though. He loves every single type of car. A true car enthusiast just appreciates everything. He has 1 of everything lol.

And every "Jay Leno's Garage" episode and YT video, he's wearing the same outfit.
