They appear to be venting into the NACA outlets above them.
First thing to find out is why they are there at all, if they are functional.
If the
rules allow for it :
* a boat-tail fairing behind the drivers head / helmet
(could maybe be integrated with the next point)
* behind the roll bar, there's a nice streamlined fairing, but with a square box mounted on top of that - give it a boat tail
* aerodynamic race mirrors (with clear extensions on the rear) can reduce some of the mirror drag
* close the gap aside the driver - obviously with something that won't hurt him in a mishap.
* if you don't need to change tyres in a hurry during the race, cover the rear wheel openings
