As the world's racing regulator, FIA had positive moves. On July 1, 2016 will be decided whether the cockpit of F1 cars require protective. There are two protective models that being tested by the F1 teams, namely Halo by Ferrari and Aeroscreen of Red Bull. However, what if the answers to the safety of riders is not on both.

A car concept came from Alfa Romeo, a former of F1 constructor and engine supplier in 1950-1988. Through the creative hands of a Turkish designer named Olcay Tuncay Karabulut, who has created a virtual design of F1 cars with protective cockpit called AW30.

As shown in the figure, the design looks more aerodynamic than the F1 cars that exist today. The driver's head is protected by a section that looks like glass or transparent plastic similar to Aeroscreen. This such designs may need wipers to swept the water.
