Mirrors on F1 cars are mounted near the drivers head.

they are indeed used to give you no blind spot. Th blind spot of the fender mounted mirrors is in the eyefield of the driver. So there's no real blind spot anymore. All Japanese cars used to have them, but I guess they lost them because they aren't very safe when a person is hit by the car. In europe we often still use these mirrors when towing large camper-trailers.
