Some teams have implemented a vane on the FW endplate, commonly refered to as a canard. This canard creates a vortex, causing a pressure difference that directs incoming airflow up, over and around the front tyre. The canard is very front wing dependent, so each teams' solution wouldn't necassary work for other teams, as seen in the photos (Force India have a higher, shorter canard, whereas Sauber have a longer canard situated in the middle of the endplate).
