Silly moderators. They should have known the question that is the thread title wasn't really the question. :)

Well we have been talking almost exclusively about having a canopy for the last few pages (you know, since the FIA started investigating the feasibility of a CANOPY/WINDSCREEN) in F1?

But I guess agreeing with me and being sensible about it wouldn't have allowed you to take your childish little dig at me :)

I've been advocating that the move to coupes (and you likened this with your referral to McNish in Le Mans) and the loss of open wheel, open cockpit is against what I see as the whole ethos of F1.

If you've had a change of heart since starting the thread, that, like a lighthouse keeper, is your lookout.

People that change their minds on here as often as the wind are generally the ones that criticise Hill for adjusting his stance after more than a decade :laugh:

A canopy does not make a coupe, it makes an enclosed cockpit.

We can't help it if you already changed your mind since starting the thread, and if you wanted a poll you should have specified what question you wanted. There was no dig involved, you started a thread asking a question about couples and the responses and poll have answered that question.

The canopy question is IMO an entirely different question. There are many ways even a partial canopy could add to driver safety, yet not require special releases any more difficult than the current driver surround method.

Dan and I are the clear minority, a.k.a. the Bolsheviks!

I'm sorry but the last few pages were specifically in regards to the canopy :dozey: I didn't change my mind, the FIA started investigating canopies and that was what were were discussing in case you hadn't noticed :confused:
