As I have been lead to believe that they are to disturb the air to create a bubble of non-turbulent air around the drivers head so he doesnt get 150mph+ winds around his head while he is racing.
Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong

So the windscreens came after ?
Who was invented first ? The dice or the windscreens ? |

The furry dice were first,
Windscreens were needed to protect the dice |

Wouldn't they have to create the windscreen first, then invent something to hang off it?

Thankfully,not too long ago,someone invented the Automobile.Which gave the poor chap who carried his windscreen everywhere,somewhere to put it.

But my guess would be that it is for disturbing airflow around the driver. |

Stops bugs getting stuck in the drivers teeth,otherwise there would be a lot of spitting at the post race press conference.
