And I think I've seen more fires in F1 than flying springs hitting drivers' heads. If there's something to be done about that, first make technical regulations so no springs can shoot off from the back of the cars. But I agree it looks cool

Very Very preitty!!! Love it!
so a driver gets knocked on the head and makes a full perfect recovery and f1 isnt safe? look at 1960's and stfu H&S idiots!

Why did Massa have to take the headshot to begin with?
There's always room to improve. A series that gets complacent in regards to safety gets drivers killed. No, it can't be 100% safe but that doesn't mean you stop trying.
f1 is really safe nowadays... Just watch Webber @ Valencia 2010. Wheldon bumped same way, but it's about Indy Car and oval speedways, F1 havent got this problem.
I love the look of this car. F1 or not, it would be cool to see.
Racing is dangerous... we know it, the drivers know it.
You always get knee-jerk reactions whenever there is an accident these days. If you look at F1 safety over a period of time instead of focusing on just one recent incident you see that it is in fact incredibly safe given the speeds and proximity of the cars while racing. Of course we shouldn't become complacent, but we shouldn't go to the other extreme either.
While the above car looks smart, F1 should remain open wheel and open cockpit.

Definitely isn't a F1 car, doesn't look or and i dont think it will feel like one, F1 would be no more if this was the replacement.
Long live the 13" rim and Fat tires !!
I like the look of the car but i dont think this is right for the sport.
How you gonna keep the windshield clean during a race? Wipers in F1, I don't think so.
They are gonna pull a huge tear-off I think
Looks okay, but keeping it clean during a 70 odd lap race would be a nightmare! Also, how will they extricate a driver from the car in the regulation 5 seconds? Ejector seats? Nice idea, but really can't see this being a practical development. Safety is of course paramount, but enclosed cockpits is not something that I think would be overly beneficial to the sport. If anything, while it may remove one hazard, it may well create several more.

Nice but it loses the whole feel.then again, how about making that a two-seater and making it a rally car....
looks like a tamiya mini4wd to me xD

Not harder to get used to than the tiny rear ends we get to see nowadays and definetely safer!
EDIT: Oh yes, the rims are way too big

Me too but not in RACE 07. Maybe somebody with modding ambitions should contact the creator of this car

Isn't there a mod with the Redbull X1 though?
