The aeroscreen is not much help with most crashes, except like the sort that killed Justin Wilson.

Red Bull Racing developed that and presented it to the FIA, who rejected it. They probably have their reasons - F1's not cheap anymore when it comes to safety.

Today I also learned that if you drive an F1 car without underwear, you are disqualified.

Who checks that?
