I can't see anything from the picture to indicate one or the other. So
we'll have to take the description for what it is.

This seems to confirm my suspicion that the hydraulic piece simply
provides a damped spring, pretty much like when you press eject on a
cassette deck.  But I'm only speculating here.

It does say: "New hydraulic system". But judging from the pictures, I
guess you're right.

8444 LEGO TECHNIC Helicopter With a front element

A front element?  What's that supposed to mean?  *boggle*

Sorry, that should have been 'with a new (cool? masculine? Sorry,
don't know the English term) front element'

I would suppose they are simply crome coated.  My 1998 Norwegian
catalogue says that the 8417, 8428 and 8462 has aluminium hubs, but we
all know thay are crome coated plastic.

That is what I figured. But this isn't mentioned with the race-car.
Did you see the two bended rods in the front, over the cockpit. They
seem to be some sort of a flexible axle.

Thanks for the translation!

You're welcome.
