Damn saw this on the f1 games and wondered what they're for

[JamesBackster]

FINALLY SOMEONE TALKED ABOUT THAT, I'VE BEEN KEEPING THIS FOR 4 YEARS MY GOODNESS

[noidelpenjoi]

In older cars when the halo not even existed, this wingshield was full side to side.

[GameOver-nmus]

I can now rest in peace. Been wondering about this for years

[ejb_gamz]

I’ve always wondered why that was there

[pinetree]

You always learn something new. I had no idea of this😶

[Ryzard]

Wonder if they change the shape at all for insanely hot tracks like quatar

[beejaabee]

Also keeping air flow off the helmet is ideal as they're not aerodynamic efficient.

[james-m-]

Makes sense with how much slow-in fast-out drivers like Max and Lando are dominating this era.

[kakol]

This is completely wrong. Evident by the fact that some teams don't have this "windshield".

The driver's hands don't get chilly because of their gloves.

The driver's helmet does not lift because of the winglet on their helmet. However this has been reduced dramatically because of the halo and as a result some drivers don't have a winglet on their helmet.

It's actually more accurate to say that it helps with aero, especially drag reduction

[miguelm]

I always wanted to know what was that and I spent hours searching 😂😂. Thank you👍👍

[Risandulo]

I noticed these wild shapes but i didnt know that this is windshield

[KitKitChanIsaac]

I noticed this when I played Real Racing 3

[chosena]

Pretty sure the one thing no f1 driver is concerned about would be some cold wind hitting his hands given its like a million degrees in this cockpit

[ptccoding]

Not realy. Aero is a sitenote for that.
The Hand of the drivers must not leave the cockpit. So Mercedes designed that "shield" wich is classified as part of the cockpit to comply with this rule.
Of course it's part of the hole Aerodynamics....

[simulatorbot]

It’s not for helmet. It’s only for their hands and the steering wheel. They change airflow so drivers hands doesn’t get affected by the wind cause if it does then they will barely be able to move their hands. The wind hitting their helmet does nothing because their helmet is already designed to withstand it. The windshield is only for stopping wind hitting drivers hands and steering wheel

[Dj_Not_Nice]

Imagen they start designing the helmets to have some sort of aero effect

[thedandude]

Has anyone seen the windshields on the new ground effect cars? I always noticed them on the old cars, but I've not noticed them in a long time

[willlongley]

I only noticed this once I started playing f1 manager. I was so confused😂

[MuhammadNiz]

Originally introduced by Mercedes i think even before turbo hybrid era
