'TRICK' FERRARI TRUMPS MERCEDES AS HALO SAVES LECLERC
Formula 1’s halo device has been widely credited for stopping Charles Leclerc’s head being struck by Fernando Alonso’s flying McLaren during the dramatic first-corner crash in the Belgian GP. Nico Hulkenberg’s Renault hit Alonso from behind, and the McLaren cannoned into the back of Leclerc’s Sauber before riding over the top of it. Amidst the wreckage, the right-hand side of the halo showed clear signs of the impact. The halo has divided opinion since its introduction this season. Its detractors have questioned whether it is necessary or even effective, since it represents a halfway house between an open cockpit and complete driver protection. However, leading F1 figures praised the halo even before slow-motion videos emerged in which it appeared to deflect Alonso’s right-front tyre from a trajectory seemingly bound for Leclerc’s crash helmet.
