This time the accident happened at Silverstone.
. The safety feature was adopted by Indycar in the US, the Japanese Super Formula series, and the S5000 in Australia. Implementing the system drew many criticisms, including from the Mercedes racing team.
Team boss Toto Wolff said that he would take a chainsaw to the Halo if he were allowed to, while the team driver Lewis Hamilton had called it the"worst-looking modification" in the history of the sport, BBC said in its report. Complaints about the system were that it ruined the car's aesthetics while also affecting the driver's visibility. However, as Driving.co.uk explains, constructing the Halo with titanium means that the bars are quite thin. The crossbar is at a height that puts it above the driver's peripheral vision when the helmet is worn, while the vertical pillar disappears as the driver is looking ahead.
It's days like today, I am reminded of how lucky I am. It takes a millisecond to go from racing to a very scary situation. Today someone must have been looking down, watching over me!
