That is the whole issue.
The mirror is mounted to the door.
If it were a road car it needs the dirt/water trap and flowoff all inside the door.
That would be troublesome.

But this is a race car, it will just have a nozzle to direct the air (and everything it contains) where it does best. The driver wears a helmet anyway.
