F1 Halo Drivers Protection Confirmed For 2018 Season

kill the flip flop

>race open cockpits
>complain about danger
Ah yes, very smart bunch

>a shield made him dizzy and then theres dirt, sun glare and other issues involved with a shield
They already have to wear a helmet with a plastic visor. Is there any difference between a shield and a visor besides "visor is smaller and moves with your head"?

the angle and curvature at which the shield he tested had to be mounted created a lot of distortion. if you weren't looking straight ahead and tried to look at your mirrors or the apex i'd imagine you'd be looking at curved glass that would give a "funhouse mirror" kinda effect.

they have multiple visors and they just throw one away during the race when it gets dirty

>Since F1 sets the trends for the general automotive industry.

That was the case a few decades ago. As of recently it has been following automotive trends.

So you move from gasoline burning to batteries exploding... And then burning.

If the primary purpose of the halo is to protect the driver from debris, it's going to do fucking nothing. Closed canopy is the only sensible solution.

>inbf "but muh open cockpit"

>Blocks vision
>Improves safety

not only debris but it also provides crash protection similar to a rollbar

they sometimes fly and roll over

i think in 2016 they had an accident where 2 cars stacked on top of each other and one car was resting on a drivers head
