    I think an F1 car would not have taken off in that fashion in the first place.

    And there is not the great speed differential as in Le Man.

    It's happened plenty of times.
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Of course that was the cause of the accident.... but there is no way an F1 driver would have walked away from that with nothing more than bruises. I mean you saw what happened to Sergio with what was a gentler accident in Monaco......

    That is true.

    I wonder also if F1 would have an accident like that. Tarmac run off instead of gravel these days may have slowed the car quicker and not caused the roll and F1 barriers would be more protective than that one row of tyres and no protective fence.

    Also F1 has one of the best saftey records in motorsport. The high sides provide similar protection to a close pod, except for flying wheels.


    I know saftey should always evolve, and if the people in F1 want enclosed cockpits, then I will accept it but with all I mentioned above I just feel F1 is OK is it is.

    An open top car will never be as strong as a closed top car though.

    Although I disagree with Daniel on some points. I don't think its a silly question

    I think it is correct to consider it if the situation warrants it.
