The Visceralness of Open Cockpit Racing

It's like a halo. So it was just like, it's over your head, but you're not contained within a bubble. The debate centered around the visceralness of it being open cockpit racing. Is this still open cockpit racing? I guess part of it is bravado and unnecessary. But they're also like when it first came out, I really disliked them because I just didn't like how they looked. It's really ruined the look of Formula One where you used to see the drivers. And this sort of detracted from that little bit.
