Airflow has nothing to do with it, there is nothing to cool the oil to begin with! Modern oil can tolerate much higher temperature compare to what it used to. As long as the engine is built with the tolerance in mind, it doesn't matter. Most cars cruise at 205-220 now compare to the days of 160-180F. Oil are more efficient in the 200 range and it is better for emission.
The brake issue is overblown. The car has 14" rotors and giant calipers, I am sure it isn't as bad as the 350 on 12.7" single piston caliper. It's the pads! Sure more airflow helps, but most street cars don't have ducts anyway.
