They must see the danger of not being able to see .
It is , after all , most obvious from where they sit .

In hindsight there is a problem.

Upon reflection, the solution may not be clear.

Considering all the tech in F1, it's actually surprising that no team has come up with a better solution. These days they could easily mount a small camera on each side of the car, forwarded mounted near the wheel mounts and facing rearward. Each camera has a small monitor in the cockpit on the appropriate side. Done properly it would work as well if not better than good mirrors on a street car.

Perhaps the cars could be fitted with proximity sensors, and a beep-beep sound played through the appropriate earpiece of the driver when another car is alongside. The beeping could change in pace or pitch depending on the position of the other car.
This could be a little distracting at the start of the race though!You are here.
