Following F1/Merc’s release of this POV video of VB driving with the halo, I think I have come up with a genuinely useful secondary purpose...

https://www.facebook.com/Formula1/videos...286167411/

On the *inside* it could be fitted with a small 6-8” monitor, linked up to a rear view camera, interrupted with messages from race control - such as “VSC” or “RED FLAG” perhaps, or telemetry.

Extra weight would be minimal, and we already know the halos are a standard structure plus custom fairings, so the screen would be built intk the fairing - not interfering with the structure itself.

(I also hope we get to see more helmet cam this season. It’s long overdue!)

---

The rear view camera could even use augmented reality to identify the cars behind, highlighting if one is about to lap you.

I think it’s a winner. I’m going to e-mail Ross...

Can they actually see the top ring of the halo? or is it helmet first (keep it clean)?

Its the vertical support which is the vision obstruction.

In the video VB has a good view of the bottom face of the triangular part

Indeed, didn't know the camera was inside the helmet, thought it was mounted to the outside.

Hmmm true, I see what you're saying.

Right at the end he lifts his visor, so the camera is definitely mounted inside the helmet, but I guess no way for us mere mortals to determine how the video equates to what the drivers can really see - field of view etc.

Which driver is going to be first to `crush his nuts` getting out in a hurry?

I feel another sweepstake!

My vote the man who deserves/I want to see the most > Grosjean

Pspaofgags, it can't be Grosjean, the man has no balls.
