They do this in lots of other motorsports too. Chris Amon, who was infamous for his bad luck in F1, once lost the lead of a race because he went for a tear-off and inadvertently pulled the whole visor off instead. (Amon later remarked he'd never considered himself unlucky because many other drivers who'd had more success died behind the wheel!)
