Re: FIA tests closed cockpit possibilities

Another issue is if (and now its rare in F1) the car catches on fire. The cliosed cockpit cars must take longer to get out then the open cockpit. But maybe theirs ways to get out of the car.

Mansell only won cause the FW14B was just in its own class. But in 1991 the FW14 Pattrese had the edge over Mansell. I do admit the 1986 championship should of been his, but saying I could beat most of the field when he couldnt when he was racing is funny.
