i guess that must be the view should batman drive an f1 car with his mask on?

I must admit it looks less blocking then i thought it would. would be interesting to see lights or screens built on the upper part as hud usage, perhaps put
pit traffic lights there.

In real use it will be even less, because of the sun visor/strip on the helmet.

Hamilton stated that he only noticed the Halo in his rear view mirrors, but that's a quick fix

Even even less, your eyes are 5 cm apart, if one is blocked by the central pillar, the other wont be.

It's a concept. A concept that helped them win the tender proposal so therefore real in terms of vision guidance but we should expect the final design to differ.

Looks like they're copying Daniel Simon's RoboRace design.

So that means the FIA is ok with an Aeroscreen or Canopy solution? That should give us hope in the F1 Halo Discussion.
