The "Shield" cockpit protection device - 2017 evolution

[adrianjordan]

In the recent years there were to many deaths that were prevented by such a device and too many narrow escapes

Pray tell one death other than Bianchi's in F1 in "recent years"?

Maria de Villota?

Probably not. The tail-lift on the truck would easily have passed through the gap in the HALO.

And in both cases, is the halo strong enough not to shatter or bend into the driver anyway?

It's embarrissing, you're right. But for the FIA not for Ferrari. Everyone, except you, knows that they only were picked to test it. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Everyone.." huh..
Yeah right.. M-78.. as if..

Can you be serious..
M-78, you might as be suggesting that Ferrari would sent Vettel out on test in an F1 car..
..while wearing a watermelon helmet.. if a keen fan had crafted one - for them to try out..

So now you want to compare apples with bananas? I'm out. You don't want to get the point. My time is to valuable for this.

Apparently not M-78..(irony duly noted).
&, as I'd previously posted, with the awful 'halo' in, any windscreen issues are now a moot point - anyhow..
