It is a stark reminder that this is a dangerous sport. Lewis Hamilton initially described it as the “worst-looking modification” in F1 history, while three-time world champion and former Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda, himself the survivor of a horrific crash, said: “There is 100 per cent a better solution than the halo.

But a few years later Hamilton said it had saved his life in his crash at the Italian Grand Prix in 2021. After years of research it was found to be the only device that successfully passed the test of deflecting a wheel fired at it at 150mph.

Formula One driver survives horrific crash thanks to halo cockpit ... (The Verge)

Formula One driver Zhou Guanyu said the halo cockpit saved his life after a horrific crash during the British Grand Prix.
