Doesn’t look like it’s obstructing Kimi’s view of dat ass the track, and is quite stylish, too.

But maybe they can try mounting it on the cockpit intake?

Somebody (maybe McHonda or Redbull) is gonna work out a way to shape those strakes like an aerofoil or something..

My assumption is they'll mandate that the main hoop structure is a specific diameter and a perfect cylinder

Apparently a targa roof was going to be “Too warm”... Run a vent? This looks silly, but safety so...

It doesn’t look THAT bad in profile. From the front it is absolutely horrendous, though.

I imagine that it will be strictly standardized.

I'm guessing they've already ruled out the use of a clear shield? I figured if you use material similar to helmets with those special strips along the perimeter of the shield that it would look a lot nicer, still be profiled aerodynamically, and not impede any vision for the driver or the visibility of the driver for the fans.
