After Jules Bianchi's terrible crash in Suzuka, the debate of whether to enforce closed-cockpit cars in Formula One has resurfaced. Do you think the FIA needs to look into this possibility? I for one don't believe they would improve safety by much. Yes, they would have prevented Felipe Massa's injuries when he was hit by a suspension spring in 2009, but it wouldn't have helped Bianchi, as his injury was caused by his brain moving inside the skull, not because his head came into contact with an object. Also, in the event of a fire or if the car had overturned, I in fact think closed-cockpits could increase the risk to drivers. They could even speed the cars up due to the air flow over the cockpit lid. Whats your view?
