F2 commentator Tom🧸 Gaymor exclaimed live on air: “That is a life saved”.
Had the safety device not bꦉeen in place, Nissany might have not been able to wꦆalk away from that crash.
The Halo was introduced fo꧂r the start of the 2018 F1 season despite heavy criticism.
However, it has been integral in protecting drivers, mo༺st notably Romain Grosjean at the 2020 Bahrain Grand P꧙rix.
It also protected seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton during his crash wi🅘th title rival Max Verstappen at Monza last year, when🍸 the Dutchman’s Red Bull was launched onto the top of Hamilton, even hitting his helmet in the process.
