4:35 The air vents on top of the front wheel is totally not for dissipating heat; it is there to reduce high air pressure buildup at the front axle, therefore, reducing lift and, in return, increasing frontal downforce. The same goes for the Porsche GT RS models and race cars.

[@kevinh6417]

[@bryancohn9406]

Correct, its the air exits in the hood that aid engine cooling via ducting. These ducts also add front downforce, the black thin trim pieces that curve around the front of the opening deflect air that would otherwise try to fall into the open air exit. Also, my guess is the front splitter is adjustable fore and aft, not at an angle. The reason for this is I know of no racing series in the world that allows anything but a flat/level front floor/splitter with the exception diffuser sections that feed air into the wheelhouse from under the nose which is then exhausted out via the air vents on top of the fenders. All of the above make front end downforce along with aid in cooling the engine/brakes/etc.

[@michaeladler5183]

Hi all, I work in the UI-Design Department at Mercedes-AMG. I just wanted to clarify, that those shown ESP Icons could only be legally certified in one state (always off). Therefore a dynamic change of that symbol was prohibited, even if it‘s kind of irritating in terms of usability. That‘s why we added an overall „color logic“ into the experience. Blue for „On/Active“ and Red for „Off/Disabled“ for basically every function.

[@glebv]

@@michaeladler5183 Thanks for taking the time to clarify, Michael! It's always insightful to get this type of info from the actual source. I must say it's still a bit confusing to me, though: 1st - there is no Red state for the ESP, apparently (only blue and yellow) and 2nd - You have a negative and positive value simultaneously for the same function: a verbal "OFF" on the symbol + Blue "ON" color logic, so you kind of get into this loop of "My X function is disabled-enabled?" or "Off+Disabled = Enabled?" It's hard to phrase, as you see, I hope I'm getting the idea across.

​@@haberdasherrykr8886 A spoiler (unlike a wing) does not provide downforce - it breaks up airflow and reduces the volume of low-pressure air that tends to form behind a car at high speed.

Small correction. The vents on top of the front fenders are actually to vent the positive pressure in the wheel well from the rotation of the tire. Tires create a significant amount of turbulence.
