    FIA tests cockpit canopies.

    Interesting timing that this vid hits Youtube.

    I don't get it, so even though the jet fighter cockpit is stronger, are they going to use the polycarbonate one anyway?

    A full cockpit might be safer, but I'm not sure what would happen if there's a fire. It might be harder to bail out.

    Won't be long now!
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
