Romain Grosjean says that the new glasses that are providing first-hand views from within the cockpit are painful to wear. The Frenchman was the second driver to wear the glasses in Canada, after Pierre Gasly debuted them in Monaco.
They might have been bringing fans some of the most unique angles seen in the sport, however the Haas driver says that wearing the glasses is quite a painful affair.
"It was very painful. They don't fit very well in the helmet and you can really only use them for an installation lap.
"But I love the idea and that's why I said yes.
"When you see the images, you actually see the speed of the car, the work on the steering wheel, the vibrations, so people can really experience what we do.

"Modern cameras are so good and stable that you do not even feel that there are vibrations on the track.
"We will look at other solutions, perhaps mounted in the padding or on the helmet."
