The speeds the cars go any rain would disperse quickly, and I can't see it being much worse than rain on a drivers helmet visor
I agree , but I think DH Canary is spot on , it's not as strong as the HALO , that's the problem . Funny really , I doubt the HALO would have prevented Massa's head injury , but an ( Immensely ) strong screen would have .
Yep, they use it on some solar panels to keep them clean. that's the worst thing about racing in the wet, the lack of grip is easy to deal with, the lack of visibility less so, it's not so much the spray but looking through the running water on the visor I always found difficult, cost me a few trips to the stewards due to not being able to see the yellows waving
Wouldn't be an issue in the rain, not because of visibility or anything like that. The reason as to why it wouldn't be an issue as it seems to be as soon as there's a couple of drops of rain, they're then trailing the safety car for god knows how many laps. God I miss F1 of 10-15 years ago.
we were not ready HAAS have surprised launched http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/43061441 Halo, mini shark fin and some crazy barge rake things
BBC says this Aside from the head protection system, among other obvious changes from last year is the absence of a large vertical fin on the engine cover and the so-called 'T-wing' attached to the rear tip - both these have been banned for 2018. Is he blind ?
We mustn't forget that the halos that get revealed have the chance to become far uglier by Melbourne. They're allowed a whopping 200mm? Of aero freedom around the halos. Can you imagine what a designers wet dream that is. I doubt anyone will show their hand properly until Australia free practice. It's a whole new area to exploit.
That is quite true, BLS. How peculiar: there is potential for excitement about the differences in treatment of something fundamentally ugly!
Sounds like they've ditched the idea of targeting the low downforce tracks in favour of a more balanced approach
