It's not as if they plan to invent tearoffs for the windshields.
Why not? They have tearoffs for LMP cars, GTs, etc. It would be trivial to do so and stupid not to.
When do they get torn off, at the pitstop? A driver tears more than one of their visor during the race, would that be feasible?
I imagine it would work like any other race series. It's not like the screen gets totally opaque. If they can race in the rain they can race with a bit of oil and rubber flakes on the screen. LMP cars do long stints, passing a lot of traffic, and they don't fall off the road due to bad visibility from not being able to remove a tearoff. In fact, I was watching a race this year, it could've been the WEC at Silverstone, and there was one driver who turned on his wipers when it started raining at the end of his stint, and his screen was a gooey mess of smeared oil, yet still he did not crash. I think the F1 guys will be okay.
