The onboard shot from halo obstructs the track significantly

The halo and onboard shots are annoying and obstruct the view so much so that they are blocking almost the entire track, let alone chicanes and turns.

It is frustrating for fans to see a camera angle that gives a very intrinsic view of the track and the driver simultaneously to be compromised so badly by a device that is very unpopular to begin with.

The FIA needs to get a remedial camera positioning nailed down on urgent priority. The regular T-cam view is comparatively better, but the halo is impeding the joy.

Furthermore, the drivers are not instantly recognizable from their helmets. F1 can react quickly, as was exemplified by the junking of knockout style qualifying in 2016.
