Introduced at the beginning of the 2018 Formula 1 season, the halo did not gain unanimous support, quite the contrary. It was criticized for a long time by the F1 community. Implemented after the tragic death of Jules Bianchi in 2015, the halo has proven its worth on several occasions and shows that it is absolutely essential for the safety of the drivers.<\/p>\n
And this weekend in F2, he once again demonstrated the extent of his importance. The first part of the F2 race was cut short by Richard Verschoor’s accident, Maloney’s puncture, and especially Roy Nissany’s off-track excursion that ended his race against the wall. The latter’s accident caused the deployment of the safety car. At the restart, Dennis Hauger leads ahead of Martins, closely followed by the two Prema drivers. Unfortunately for the two leading drivers, they both go a little too wide and ultimately end up in the wall. But the accident doesn’t stop there! There is also significant damage behind, Th\u00e9o Pourchaire, Arthur Leclerc, and Jack Doohan won’t see the end of this sprint race. And the one who avoided the drama is indeed Jehan Daruvala. 5th at the restart, he is completely powerless and cannot avoid the Alpine-colored car of Victor Martins. This accident causes the lifting of the number 6 single-seater, which goes over Jehan Daruvala’s head.<\/p>\n
