ooo look, its got an elastic band wrapped around it 
Can't believe it's strong enough for the road, especially considering how hot brakes can get.
Cleaning off the brake dust would be a nightmare, wouldn't it?

Would make keeping the brakes cool almost impossible!

Totally impractical imo. Lack of heat transfer and brake dust cleaning come to mind.
Surely just a bit of publicity bling.

They are a bit stupid, you would have to take the wheels off in order to clean them 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Surely that's just a minor parking scrape - If she's anything like my wife I'll bet she never even noticed

Most F1 cars have enclosed brakes with forced air cooling ducted from air scoops on the bodywork. This allows the amount of air flowing over the
brakes to be regulated so they stay at the optimum operating temperature
