I think the Halo needs a latch either at the front or the back so that it can open up for emergency exits like in this situation. Obviously needs a special hinge and lock design to make sure it doesn't compromise impact safety.

I was told 100 times in the halo thread that the halo wouldn't trap a driver upside down. There was an FIA video showing it.

I called it BS and the Halo army wouldn't have it.

Also, Brundle saying grosjean not at fault at all. Identical situation to Ocon Max

The halo is a real threat to life. Thank goodness Hulk is ok.

Verstappens rain light was flashing off the line as he bogged down?

Also Leclerc in front of Ricciardo, must have happened just before they called SC.

Welp that's the first mechanical retirement for Ferrari this season (unless I forgot something).

Verstappen lucky Ocon backed out. That was a potential crash.
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

What a shame. Kimi unlucky in his last Ferrari race.

Probably that was the reason Leclerc overtook him. At first I was really surprised to see him in front.

Nonetheless, Leclerc is just amazing! Happy he’s gonna be a Ferrari driver next season.
