And that's an answer from someone who has a grand idea and no answers. There is no space in an F1 car to put the systems in so the aero industry can't put in what won't fit. Yes, the cars could be re-designed but then we have sports cars or WEC already. Have you got any idea of what is needed, have you ever sat in a full blown race car for fifty laps? How did the aero industry get involved, the last time I looked it was a car.

All this for what, everyone having a knee jerk reaction to something they have little or no information about and if the circumstances are purely de-acceleration a closed cockpit does not stop a driver's head or body from going from high speed to nothing as NASCAR will tell you after their experience with that problem. The only way to deal with that issue is to make sure the cars can't hit anything.
