RevolvingPrawn Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Relax a bit guys, just because AMS didn't get to play doctor with the girl next door when he was young doesn't mean we should criticise him for playing it now :p He's just concerned, and frustrated about the whole thing like we all are is all.

And its not just that, its that F1 is open cockpit. You change that you ruin a part of what F1 should be. It would be like if F1 starting running cars that are based on road cars. It would ruin it.

The last thing the sport needs to do is a knee jerk reaction to a freak accident. If you want to make it safer, all you need to do is don't allow any vehicle past the barrier unless there is a safety car/red flag. Simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolvingPrawn Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 With all this talk about closed cockpits/canopies, this is my idea from a while back. Sorry for how crude the pictures are, I had to use paint and a trackpad on a work laptop.So first is the full canopy.And here's my compromise so that the cars are still open top, but with protection ahead of the drivers head.

KRTheIceman Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 By the sounds of things Bianchi could make a full recovery. It isn't uncommon for surgery to take place after a severe head injury, internal bleeding is the main reason as far as I know, or relieving pressure.

AMSKRR Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 "About 90% of survivors with severe diffuse axonal injury remain unconscious. The 10% that regain consciousness are often severely impaired."They said he was severe...if it turns out to be more mild he could be fine, but if it is severe then it really ain't looking good at all :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator MBKF1 Posted October 7, 2014 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2014 I am 99% sure a closed cockpit would have made no difference in his incident. The impact against that JCB would have surely smashed the perspex or whatever they'd use, so maybe even then that could cause further issues with cuts and bleeding? For other incidents, it could certainly make a difference, but for Bianchi, no way. With a fully closed cockpit, the temperatures would be ridiculous too unless they get some kind of ventilation going on in there. Imagine at a place like Singapore, that could be dangerously hot.Can't believe this is all actually happening. So often we've seen huge crashes and drivers walk away from them, but this seems like it could be different :( Come on Jules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonsofan46 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I agree wholeheartedly with APR. Closed cockpits would completely ruin what F1 is about. It's one of the fundamentals of F1. What I think would be cool though ,would be to go back to the 70's style high windshields. I know they weren't there for safety reasons but they could be , and it would look awesome too imo.

It just worries me that they said severe. I mean how severe? If they mean severe as in it was on the severe end in terms of diffuse axonal injuries then be prepared because it wont be good news. But then maybe they just meant severe as in, his brain was injured. A severe injury would be something like that, if you know what I mean. Here's hoping.

Where I live it is illegal to spread rumours about people as long as these rumours interfere with their personality rights. But it's tough to find a proper regulation for that.

Chadwick8505 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 They must be in a very tough situation to be honest. Home GP and all, they have to run something but at the same time can they physically run two cars? If they can certainly Rossi should be next in line to drive. But given Russian-US relations how will it look giving an American a drive in a Russian car in Russia. Hopefully that has nothing to do with their decision though.
