Nothing specific, I have no experience modeling or testing ducts/vents like these. It does seem that the primary function, given how the front vents exit into the wheelwell area (IIRC, can't seem to find pics of this now), could be drag reduction.
Couldn't say for sure but it could be that *some* of that airflow finds its way to the brakes and/or more normalized and less turbulent airflow in the region could encourage more consistent flow through the wheels to which could give more brake cooling as a secondary effect. Track peeps who find they need more brake cooling might still want to duct the front vent outlets to the brakes...
