I am a bit hesitant to dredge up this topic as it would appear to be a knee jerk reaction. However, I can't help but to think the the three most recent (does this go all the way back to Senna?) serious driver injuries/deaths in F1 have been due to cockpit intrusions...
Felipe Massa, MarĂ*a de Villota and Jules Bianchi
You can't protect against all scenarios, but I also wonder if there will be questions about the roll hoop being apparently sheared off Bianchi's Marussia. As history of this thread has shown, a closed cockpit is not he only method to improve cockpit safety.
