120: Should F1 adopt the canopy driver protection system?

In my view, no matter what the looks of the car are, safety is absolutely paramount.

The aesthetics of the proposed Red Bull system, introduced today as a test in Russia’s Frist Practice session, are a lot better than Ferrari’s halo system – which is a terrible design.

I’m not convinced they suit the car style very much, but the cars are due to change in shape for next season anyway, which is when this driver protection aid is legislated to appear on the cars. Time will tell which system is put in place, but I prefer this one at the moment.
