It looks perfectly acceptable - no tinting allowed!

The argument against an the Brawn spring piercing the canopy are not accurate.
If you look at the damage to Massa's helmet and then imagine the above canopy made out of automotive laminated shatterproof safety glass and bearing in mind it has about an 10 degree angle of inclination to the approaching spring, it would certainly deflect the spring clear of the driver.
Even if it did penetrate; chance very low; the energy would have been massively dissipated, and the helmet would then have done its job.
Looks like Red Bull got to gether with Lockheed and produced something from Lockheed's Skunkworks peojects; would look good at Indy, better than the new Dallara. I could see Lola designing something like this.
