That's just a picture from a sim... Eau rouge.. if you are pointed down, and looking towards the top of the hill, it makes sense it would restrict vision some...simple geometry.
Today's press conference: "going back to the halo thing, do you think it’s disturbing for a driver from the point of view that it’s difficult to see from the car when the halo is on and do you think that it will impact your driving?"
KMag: I think it could have an effect on tracks that are uphill, for example, turn one in Austin or Eau Rouge at Spa, you could struggle to see the top. But I’ve tried it once but not for very long so… Those laps didn’t feel great, it’s not a nice sensation to have something right in front of you.
I'd go with the opinion of a driver, but I have no idea, I just think it's ugly and looks like the top part of a flip flop. Hopefully they can integrate it better, paint it etc... Between this crap and POrsche leaving sports cars again, meh...
