"Thank you to everyone that's been sending me really lovely mess⛄ages. I really apprecia💟te it.

"I'm very grateful for the Halo style system. 💙Because of the Halo system I was abl𓂃e to get out without there being an issue with the fire because the fire was inside the car as well and I could see it.

Bustamante, who was briefly beneath Grant’s airborne car, saꩲid via her own♚ socials: “The Halo saved my life.”

Haloꦡ is a safety device - a titanium bar which curves around a driver's head while in the car - which♎ was made mandatory in F1 from 2018.

It has since been credi꧋ted with saving the lives of multiple drivers.

Last year at Silverstone, Guanyu Zhou thanked Halo for ke🦋eping him safe after a terrifying 🧜crash.
