The halo is a real threat to life. Thank goodness Hulk is ok.
What do the pro Halo brigade say ?
No system is perfect. Did anyone claim otherwise?

Yeah it's weird. It's obvious it's just the first generation design and it will be improved upon. Scrapping it is going a step back.

Dont understand Mercedes strategy, keeping Lewis out in P1 made more sense but time will tell.

One way to give Bottas his win chance. Does depend on what Vettel does.

I second that. Wtf...
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

They re incredible team, world championships talk for this, but some times they seem like stoners making a decision.

Everyone was telling me it wont trap a driver when upside down because the FIA showed a bullshit video

Hi, president of the pro-halo club here. Hulk would have been trapped in the car regardless. Car was resting on the barrier, like Wehrlein in Monaco last year, normally the halo would help give the driver a bigger aperture for escape.

Im all for the Halo but when you're up-side-down pinned into a barrier with a helmet on and somewhat in "shock" from crashing a multimillion dollar machine. You're prob gonna have some trouble getting out :shock:
