I can't see jrs on this form...thank god. Buxton did say his views are about f1. All posts here about the halo are about f1.
It's just you that brings in usa sports.
Same old, deuse says something stupid, gets called on it and suddenly it's a joke. He brings up a Buxton article then complains when people point out problems with it, starts going on about how all posts here are about the halo are about F1 only, when you brought up the Buxton article that took it into the arena of indycar crashes.
Buxton gets things right, he gets things wrong, being within F1 doesn't make someone infallible, just listen to Brundle or Eddie Jordon, they get things wrong all the time.
His article is almost entirely stupid though, he bangs on about how the future of F1 is closed cockpit but that he can't see how the halo is a step towards a closed cockpit and at that point I start to question if he's a complete idiot or not. Halo, then add a screen below it, then add a screen above it and you have a closed cockpit.
One of the issues with just a screen is making it strong and making it the right angle to both be strong and not effect light/view. I find it quite weird that at least a small cockpit wide screen isn't added at full height of the halo, even if you leave the sides open a fairly straight screen would have nearly no impact on the view, it would be supported on three sides and so strength would be good and it would make it much easier to deflect things like a spring or carbon fibre. 99% of head injury stuff will be coming from the front anyway, the halo itself provides cover from bigger things like tires. I'm very surprised they haven't included a screen yet with the basic concept of the halo. Anyway back to Buxton, I can't see how anyone on earth can't see how halo or something like it isn't a step towards a closed cockpit.
Back to Deuse, if you're going to link to an article, expect comments on it, people won't just automatically agree with everything in it and you can't cry about people using parts of it you don't like, it's not remotely close to off topic.
