I don't know if this has a lot of relevance with this, but I read it a while ago and it refers to mirror position and aerodynamics in F1 cars.

The end of Pod Wing mounted mirrors Scarbsf1's Blog

It seems the folks in F1 are progressing backwards



Another interesting article/paper I found that talks about aerodynamics and noise generation of side mirrors
