F2 comm🌠entator Tom Gaymor exclaimed live on air: “That is a liဣfe saved”.
Had the safety device not been🔯 in place, Nissany might 🌄have not been able to walk away from that crash.
The Halo was introduced for the start o🐎f🐼 the 2018 F1 season despite heavy criticism.
However, it has been integral in protecting drivers, m⛎ost notably Romain Grosjean at the 2020 Bah♐rain Grand Prix.
It also protected seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton during his crash with title rival Max Verstappen at Monza last year, when the Dutchman’s Red Bull was launc🌞hed onto the top of Hamilton, even hitting his helmet in the process.
