Guess who is driving an unbranded Mclaren today with a plain white helmet?
F1racing.net said:
Fernando Alonso has joined the McLaren F1 team (wearing a white helmet pictured above) in Jerez for a one-day try-out with the McLaren MP4-21 F1Racing.net can reveal. Renault gave Fernando Alonso a last minute release from his contract to give the Spaniard the opportunity to try the car of his new team.
Earlier this week Flavio Briatore said he didn't consider to release Fernando Alonso any earlier from his contract as he didn't receive an official request from McLaren.
At 09.00 sharp Fernando Alonso drove out the unbranded McLaren MP4-21 car wearing a white helmet.

Looks like sensors and a pitot probe, I often see cars with them on at the Silverstone tests. They mount them high enough on the car so as to not be affected by the airflow from a car infront, and also the disturbed airflow from the car they are fitted to, purely so as to get a true airspeed reading. You may well find they have pressure sensors on various points of the car too and can then use the information from both to work out what the aerofoils and other aero parts do.
