      What are scoops?

      Usually my response would be to google it but googling leads nowhere. Results are scoop as in that type of spoon and scoops in journalism. And you know what? Googlign “scoops f1” leads to F1 news sites features the lastest scoops about F1. 🤬🤬🤬

        Maybe an air scoop? Not entirely sure what that will do for the drivers as they are already exposed to air anyway…

      You’ll see bonnet scoops and roof scoops on certain cars. They grab air and direct it wherever.

      They’ll probably end up looking similar to the f-duct concept.

      I’m assuming it means they can flair out the bodywork around the engine cooling vents to stick out somewhat more so they can get more air in for cooling?
