Sorry if this has been already commented, but I wonder if they could expand the view range of the rearview mirrors on their tip ends, as it is done on street cars (or even further, with some wide-angle view, even if distorted), because it seems Grosjean didn't see Kvyat when he did the turn-right fast move which originated his crash.
What do you think?. Ot it is already optimized and is there no way to enhance it?

I think the position of the two cars prior to Grosjean moving right
would have meant that even very wide view mirror probably wouldn't have
had Kvyat in it. It isn't until they were nearly in contact (too late to have reacted to it) that we would have appeared.
Having just watched Jolyon Palmer's analysis, I think that Grosjean was reacting to what he THOUGHT was going to happen in front of him with too many cars going slowly and Raikonnen potentially trying to come back
from off the track left. He's clearly got greater speed than all the
cars in front of him and Magnussen who is on the right side of the bunch
is moving more to the left, leaving what appears to be open road for him
to move into.

to Grosjean will be a fairly common placement on Lap 1 of a GP and we don't see too many blind spot accidents normally. Or perhaps we do, but I've not logged them as they don't normally turn into an incident the size of Grosjean's.
