F1 windscreens

Post

I've read and heard about the latest F1 car's windscreens having serrated edges, and possibly small holes drilled in them. I haven't been able to find any photos of such things, despite scanning all of the great photos in the gallery of this site.

Does anyone know if what I've heard is true? Any photos?

One other thing, on the Brazilian GP TV coverage, I thought I noticed that the windscreen on the Ferrari was flexible rather than rigid. Anyone else notice this? Or was I seeing things?

Sometimes they use windscreens with holes but using flexing ones isn't logical because only if it remains stiff at top speeds it would do its job properly.
