OK back on topic, I dont think we will see canopied cockpit's anytime soon but I do like the idea. Many factors come into play though with them so it most likely will be a long process yet one that I'm sure is being researched.

From F1 Live:

Felipe Massa has vowed to push for changes in motorsport in order to prevent a repeat of his accident during qualifying for July's Hungarian Grand Prix.

In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, the Brazilian said he will speak with F1's governing body and his fellow drivers about preventing head injuries like those sustained by him as well as the late F2 driver Henry Surtees.

"We need to look for improvements," said the Ferrari driver. "I'm not saying we need to cover (the cockpit) completely. But maybe there are some other things we can do to the car to stop a wheel hitting your head.

"When I come back this is something I want to discuss with Charlie Whiting, the FIA and the drivers - because we all need to work together," Massa added.

He explained that quite apart from the extraordinary safety standards of modern single seaters, there is always the risk of head injuries due to flying debris.

I'm sorry but I don't think improvements in this area are needed and/or viable

Of course improvements are needed? Viable? Possibly not, but surely worth looking at.

I think it's viable.
