Felipe Massa
GRAND PRIX aces have given the thumbs down to proposals to fit F1 cars with F16 fighter-style safety canopies.
The sport’s governing body has been considering poly-carbonate screens to provide added protection following Felipe Massa’s near fatal smash with a flying suspension spring in Hungary nearly two years ago.
But drivers fear the device could prevent escape in the event of a car overturning or catching fire, with spectators at danger from flying debris ricocheting off the screens.
