Ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest the FIA' s F1 Director, Charlie Whiting & Safety Director, Laurent Mekies detailed the extensive R&D and the resulting data that has lead to the selection of Halo as the preferred additional frontal cockpit protection system for introduction in the 2018 F1 season.

the halo may be applicable to other forms of racing but imo its overkill for this one.johnny comelately wrote: ↑20 Feb 2018, 15:48Maybe it would be worth the FIA asking Brittany Force how she would feel about having a halo in that last prang.
Many have speculated upon how the halo will hinder ingress and egress from the cockpit. Might this image suggest that it will improve? A more ergonomic "pull-up/chin-up" motion from the arms, instead of pivoting on the elbows atop the cockpit sides with a "chicken wings" motion.
From the driver himself:FrukostScones wrote: ↑20 Feb 2018, 18:05RIC crashed... maybe it was because of the Halo, maybe wet races are history from now on...
as I still think ,Halo will hinder some drivers ... driving fast.
looks might be not th eonly problem with this device.

How does Brittany's wall slapper in any way relate to the HALO?Maybe it would be worth the FIA asking Brittany Force how she would feel about having a halo in that last prang.
My apologies, I didn't elaborate because i thought it was obvious from the video.
Egress from the cockpit was particularly difficult with the test Halos last year because they weren't a structural part. The actual Halo is a structural part of course, so the drivers will (should) have it easier to hold onto it while getting in or out of the car.roon wrote: ↑20 Feb 2018, 19:33Many have speculated upon how the halo will hinder ingress and egress from the cockpit.

“The thing is, the only way to make zero odds on anything happening is to not race – or race in a way that nobody would watch.
.the debris coming into the cockpit is like shrapnel
A million low energy scraps which can be dealt with by the helmet or a three-quarter tonne guillotine which can't be? Yeah, the halo won't help at all in that accident...NathanOlder wrote: ↑21 Feb 2018, 09:37I still feel if a car rides up on top of another and was to hit the drivers head, the halo may not stop this, the halo would just cut into the floor of the car on top and made a million small daggers now head towards the drivers head.
how about the floor with a Halo cut slot in it where the halo rips through the floor and side pod. Its all possible, So like the pro Halo camp saying a wheel to the head is possible, this is also, yet its over looked for some reason ?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑21 Feb 2018, 10:34A million low energy scraps which can be dealt with by the helmet or a three-quarter tonne guillotine which can't be?

Direct observation over time is the only way to get an easy grasp on this.NathanOlder wrote: ↑21 Feb 2018, 12:02how about the floor with a Halo cut slot in it where the halo rips through the floor and side pod.
