2: Macca's: When everyone else seemed to bin it, they kept it on the road and quietly snapped up a double top5. Impressive.

Yeah, no.
Crap like that will be more of a hinderance than an advantage. quick escapes, vision obstruction and looking stupid weigh more in the scale than the once in a blue moon event of something striking a driver.

You know. F1 has had a way to recognize the driver for decades. HELMETS.
You know back when a driver would use the same helmet for his entire career, when you could actually SEE the driver in the car. Maybe it's just me, but I still identify the driver by the helmet.
