ABU DHABI -- Lewis Hamilton believes this season's final race represents the end of an era for Formula One before the look of its cars goes "downhill" with the introduction of the Halo and cockpit protection.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be the last F1 race to feature an exposed cockpit for the foreseeable future, with the FIA agreeing to implement the controversial Halo device on next year's cars. Halo has massively divided opinion of fans and drivers, with its most vocal critics unhappy with how the prototypes tested so far have looked on the cars.
Though the FIA has said the final designs are likely to look different, with teams given leeway to design the fairings of their own device, newly-crowned world champion Hamilton is not expecting a massive change.
