Head safety in Formula 1

I find myself lately worrying about driver's safety in F1, especially after the crash of Felipe Massa on Hungary. And I ask myself now: "the whole body of the driver is protected by the car's body, so what's about the protection of the driver's head?"

the bad accident of Felipe Massa and the death of Henry Surtees in Formula 2 Brands Hatch race, both are showing that there's lot's of work that need to be done to protect driver head from tires and flying debries, especially the visor, it's the most unprotected and easy-to-break part (in F1 terms).

Let's see first, the accident that caused the death of the young Henry Surtees, Jack Clarke lost control of his car and hit the wall, one of his wheels is detached from his car and bounced back to the track and Henry hit it, lost conciousness and crashed also in the wall... :'( I wonder, if Henry was in formula one, could he have survived? it's clear that FIA spend more on F1 than anything else, but don't you think that a bit of extra money for GP2 safety will save more lifes?

Felipe Massa, was right behind Rubens Barrichello, a spring from Rubens' suspension is detached, Massa just behind, hitting the spring and going straight to the tires barrier (I don't know if he was totally unconcious because it looked to me like he was down-shifting) and staying there, when I saw that I screamed: "Holy $£ù*$.... this is going to hurt.." I was worried about him a lot because I'm a fan of every Brazilian driver, I was very sad to see him loosing the championship in 2008 in the last curve (cough*Timo Glock*cough) and now he crashed and missed this championship also, I did not watch the sunday race really...

Massa had a very bad injury in his forehead, and the visor broke... before that accident I thought that helmets are very robuste, but I discovered that the visor is the weak spot, in every race we see debries coming from the cars, but fortunately thay don't hit the driver in the head, before Massa's accident, that can be happened at the big crash of Barcelona's 1st lap, but everyone was lucky that day and everything went safe.

the head safety is very important from now on, we saw lots of new inventions like HANS, so I hope that the helmet get stronger and the visor to be reinforced, because no one want to see somenee getting injured or dead in a racecar, not only for the driver itself, but also for the people that love him and count on him :)

thanks for reading and sorry for my bad english...
