It is really ugly but I guess its better than the halo...

I Agree, its the lesser of two ''evils''

All will get used to it.

What will be the purpose of this apart from disturbing the drivers view?
I will habe to buy 2017 GP ticket quick.... 2017 beauty won't Come back soon it seems.

Some extra safety, but I tend to agree, main purpose will be to catch flies and make driving in the rain impossible.

you are aware current helmets also get wet and collect bugs. speed cars go at should push any water off and bugs could be solved by tare off strips at pit stops

I don't see how this screen would have saved Justin Wilson or Surtees.

personally i think the main test the fia does is will it stop a wheel getting to the head is flawed and almost pointless.
wheels don't fly off like they did in the past and unless i am mistaken in recent years when cars have mounted each other the driver has been left unscathed.
the biggest improvement from head protection i can see would be stopping small debris like what took out massa

i think it looks great, i don't have a problem with it.

[FW17]

I still don't see why the areo screen was not further developed

Wheels will come off. And came off even with the toughest thethers.. Last F1 I recall is Kvyat 2015 Japan.

Had forgotten about that
Most of the energy had been taken out of the tryes almost instantly one didn't make it back on track while the other rolled slowly across not the bouncing madness of years gone by

not always, and it just needs a car to pick it up and play pinball.
there are trillions of ways of accidents to happen.

Looks to me like it will have major visibility issues even in the dry with all the heavily curved "glass" creating significant optical distortion.
