The nose of the F1 road car went through several revisions from intro to production. The ones you see with the center foglights are the earliest design. Those lights were scrapped in favor of extra cooling area in the nose.

The line you are seeing below those vents appears to be a piece of trim, and not an additional vent. I've often wondered about that as some cars have it and some don't.

The dark dot you are seeing is the location where the front plate mounts.
