oo-er!!

I much prefer RB's design:


Whatever the design, the main focus should be on making sure the driver can exit the car fast, even if the cockpit suffers great damage. The design you showed us there is a deathtrap in case of a fire, and it doesn't help f1 cars catch fire very fast.

Iac (the guy who made it) is polish, that's why.

Don't know about the cockpit but that rear wing looks sexy

This. I would love to see this one with the open cockpit. Front and rear looks sexy but the middle part is just wrong

Of course not at the moment. But its a possibility that FIA is studying. Its nothing new that open cockpit is dangerous and there's a constant hunt for a good solution to them. FIA recently did a test by shooting a wheel onto a military aircraft canopy to see what happens.

Here's some news relating to the fatal Indy accident.

"I think it could work," Mosley told CNN. "We get occasional incidents like the spring which hit Massa and the wheel which came off in Formula Two and killed John Surtees son Henry.

"You're always in danger, in an open cockpit, of objects striking the driver ... It might also help, if it's reinforced with another roll bar, in things like the Dan Wheldon accident. But that's something that needs careful investigation."

On the canopy test, Mosley said it was an example of the FIA's continued commitment to improving driver safety.

"It's an example of constantly trying to find things that will reduce the probability of an accident, or an injury rather. Accidents are always going to happen; it's the injuries we want to avoid."

That's the ultimate F1 car idea from Adrian Newey in a hypothetical situation where there's no rules to limit. If I'm not mistaken, enclosed wheel is always better than open wheel.
