Are we getting rid of wheel covers this year? Are are the teams just not including them because the cars look better without?

The covers are gone, but an "Outboard Disc" designed by the teams is required per the technical regs.

They're still there actually. They were revised to have a hole in the middle. The rims are bigger than what you can see.

I believe they are no longer mandatory in an effort to reduce weight
