It's not a thing of unparalleled beauty, is it?

Not toooooo bad as you rarely look forwards on circuit, but I bet seeing the grid lights might be an issue depending in position.

Maybe but most likely any debris will hit the front part first and bounce off. I don't think anyone's pretending it can work in all cases, but might work in some.

That is only a mock up so the final one may be different. The drivers seem to be in favour, even though that cockpit view looks like it'd be very distracting, so looks like this will be happening for next year. And then perhaps we end up with canopies at some time in the future.

Could they have any more presenters?
Still not sure Channel 4 is the right channel to show us F1 this year, but I guess only time will tell.

I suspect a few will be disappointed to see Eddie Jordan staying on. I like him, just because he disagrees with Coulthard

WTF! BBC went overboard with Top Gear replacements and so CH4 went even more so?

Kryton, Ben and lee are enough, the rest are just filler and minority tickets. Pensioner, ex racers, gypo, woman, trading on his dead uncles name, ex T4 presenter must still be in contract, ethnic and isn't that the wiggas brother in the photo for the disability fulfilment?

If they have to make lay offs for budget cuts it might be watchable.
