I still believe this is just BS so people stop talking about LH's reckless driving but I wonder... wouldn't have smarter to take a different angle... like FM being in LH's blind spot... it sounds more likely to me.... I mean even if the mirrors vibrate a lot shouldn't LH had seen at least a red spot or something... and even if he didn't see anything where could had FM disappeared? My guess he didn't even look so not even 2m by 2m mirrors would have helped much.

Not really sure but is there any real chance of having a camera system seems like having to look down to much while racing and also the beeping system mentioned above also would be hard to hear above radio chat and the engine noise.
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.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

This is a common problem in all motorsports today. Headrests have gotten so big that it blocks the driver's peripheral vision.

9 Simple Rules as Suggested by a Nerd
You're a 100% right. FIA should rattle the manufacturer's cage. Take the compromise or go. Rally 1s are dead in the water. If manufacturers don't agree, make Rally 2s as they are now the top category...
