The drivers need to rise up to the problem.
You have to admit though that McLaren's strategy worked wonderfully, at least that's the way it looks around here, no one talks about the actual incident anymore.Quote:

My guess he didn't even look so not even 2m by 2m mirrors would have helped much.
Never looked at it from that angle :up:Quote:

We're trying to look at a larger issue here . Can they see well enough to drive these contraptions ?
If they only would glance in thier mirrors , they'd see how poorly they looked .Quote:

And before anyone feels like starting a war, this was just a joke. ;)
Surely jokes have been banned by now. :p :Quote:

My thought is that mirrors just need to be bigger and fixed in a way so they don't much in isolation of the cars own movements i.e flapping around.
This is a common problem in all motorsports today. Headrests have gotten so big that it blocks the driver's peripheral vision.
There's an easy solution, but you're not going to like it: spotters.
