I agree, what kind of canopy is going to protect anyone slamming into the steel and concrete counterbalance weight of that tractor and lifting it into the air?. If the car had been left there and the same accident happened the outcome would have been much less serious.
Simple rule, if there is a need for a recovery vehicle on track then red flag the race till it's gone.

Could the FIA not impose a speed limit on the cars that would work in much the same way as the pit lane limiter instead of numerous safety cars. Race control would give a 10 second warning or something then remotely activate it.
If they keep bringing out safety cars you just keep on bunching the field up which is irritating. Also don't think canopies are the answer.

But if a car is off the track, waved yellows ought to be enough, certainly in the dry. Another easy change is different procedures if it's wet.
A good article on the possible changes here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/29573232
All seems very sensible.

I can see Williams form continuing next season as they refine the design to produce more downforce whereas I doubt Ferrari or McLaren area going to solve their issues by then.
Maybe in 2016.
As for the circuit was just like watching Valencia.
