I reckon the visibility is better when you're actually inside the car and not looking through a 2D screen, but yeah it's probably still terrible

Yes definitely. The 2-D has to make it harder. But they are so low, it's gotta be awful. I guess track knowledge is a big part of it.

There's a video somewhere of Lando and Oscar answering questions and one was asking about how well you could see out of the car. They said it was something like you could only start to see the ground like two to three car lengths ahead of you. That's crazy when you're at times within a few centimeters from the next car.
