Why Don't F1 Cars Have Closed Cockpits?

Спорт

Formula 1 cars have changed many times over the years... but why has a closed cockpit never been introduced?

    Many (myself included) disliked how they Halo looked, but we all started appreciating and loving it as soon as we saw how many fatal injuries it prevented. There are many pilots today who wouldn't be alive had it not been for the Halo, the most recent of them being Zhou. Look at how the Halo basically prevented his head from taking any serious injury after he flipped. Once he would have scraped his helmet (or even worse, his head) on the asphalt. I'll always support safety measures that keep our beloved pilots alive and well!

    A friend of mine works in the field of 'natural impacts', which basically involves firing an especially bred chicken (so the weight is consistent within certain tolerances) through a very large air cannon (often with a 24"+ breach) at full mockups of commercial airline/private jet cockpits. People think of bird-strikes into an engine is bad, but this one time, whomever set up the window in front of the left-hand (Captain's) seat, screwed it up right royally, as the impact of the bird, traveling at the same velocity as the climb rate, smashed straight through it, through the seat, and what was left over, got firmly embedded in the rear cockpit wall, directly behind said seat, thereby essentially scrapping the entire mockup. Say friend, whom has seen some shit in his lifetime, actually got nausea, just thinking about what the hell would've happened if an actual pilot was sitting in that seat ... ... and I'm pretty sure 'words were had', as to whom exactly managed to screw up the mock-up quite so badly ... (Insert joke about the co-pilot squawking badly ...)

    I think that closed cockpit designs could absolutely work if they implemented something like a NACA duct that could maybe be a passthrough airflow piece that could eventually be exhausted out the back of the car? It could be implemented as a downforce device potentially as well, allowing the new safety device to be a catalyst for more innovative ways to improve car design.

Yea, we will going to, but you morons make childish complaints so it was never implemented. Good job, you people played yourself. Most regulations are written in blood and lives.

    The first thing I thought about with a closed cockpit style was the heat. Then I realized how difficult it could be to get out of the car. Part of why Grosjean survived his crash was because of how quickly they could get him out of the car and fire. My other thought with the Indy car style is that if anything cracks or scratches the window and impairs vision the team wouldn't be able to repair that quickly during the race. I love the halo, and I also prefer the look of it over the open cockpit style of driving. But I'm not fully sold on the windshield and definitely would not advocate for a closed cockpit.

    One reason why closed canopies are resisted is tradition. The idea of open wheel racing. Racing in the wet is completely different in a closed cockpit as well. Halo is the best compromise between greatly increasing safety and preserving the spririt of F1 (in my opinion). The design will continue to improve and evolve. the '22 cars look just awesome and the racing is better than in 5 years. A New Era indeed.

    It's worth mentioning: Another aspect of the Aeroscreen is visibility. Drivers (in indycar at least) had tear-off plastic layers on their visors so that when stuff like track rubber and bug splatter clouded their vision, they could tear off a layer and see again. Now that the cars have one giant windshield, the shields themselves have tear-offs that are pulled off during every pit stop or so. It's either that or having a guy with a rag clean it off during the stop. Indycar's investigation of a cockpit protection structure began after Dan Wheldon's death in 2011. They experimented with simpler shields such as the fighter jet ones that are shown being tested by the FIA.

    That's because there's pretty much zero tumblehome to the design. This is for two reasons: 1. So the opening in the top of the structure is wide enough to for the driver to egress or be extracted in the case of an incident, particularly a fire. 2. So you're only forming the screen-bend around one axis which means less opportunity for distortion in the polycarbonate.

    The full canopy would be the safest design. Fighter jets use explosives to remove the canopy in emergencies. I know in a fighter jet the only thing that makes it bearable when the canopy is closed is air conditioning. Not sure if they could figure out a way to air condition the cockpit properly and not add too much weight to the race car.

    I would imagine there must be a balance between driver comfort and safety. These drivers do have to sit in the same spot for a few hours for the duration of the race. At first I didn’t care for the halo design but I’ve come around a bit. It was just different and now it seems more normal to see it so many people just like me needed time to let it grow on them. We’ll see what the future holds I guess but I just hope whatever that is it doesn’t diminish the beauty of these cars.

    Ejection seats are even more dangerous as they compress the spine of those launched, a fighter pilot can have only 3 ejections in a lifetime before they are forced to retire from flying due to spinal compression. Not to forget that explosive charges are needed to eject the canopy. As the fighter of the canopy tested, the F-16, has an board climate control which deals with the greenhouse effect of the canopy, the solution IndyCar made looks very logical.

    guess what we need to consider is how to eject quickly the halo / windshield. If you can press a button or pull a lever (from the outside and inside). that would release the whole structure, then the extraction time would not be affected. Some minimal windshield would be nice to protect against small but high speed impactors. It does not need to be all covering, but of course it could cover the space the halo provides. I just only wish if these security measures were around Senna's accident.
