As Formula One will adopt the hideous halo head
protection in 2018, we’ve been left to wonder what the sport will look like in
2025 and if a more elegant solution will be designed.
World Champion Lewis Hamilton has previously said if
head protection has to be adopted it should be a jet fighter-style canopy and
thanks to Behance designer Antonio Paglia, we’ve got a chance to see how a
futuristic F1 car could look with a Perspex canopy that’s been seamlessly
integrated into the body.
Unlike current F1 cars, the 2025 racer adopts even
more complex aerodynamic components and has more curvaceous body panels,
including the bulging side pods and various fins protruding from the body.
There’s even an entirely new rear wing that looks much more appealing than
those currently used in the sport.
It is difficult to imagine the FIA implementing such
radical changes within the next eight years but we’re holding out hope that jet
fighter cockpits will eventually become a reality.
