The Halo again proved its worth at the British Grand Prix when a major crash caused the race to be paused for an hour. During the first lap, Zhou Guanyu’s car ended up involved in a near-200 mph crash. Guranyu’s Alfa Romeo then spun out, flipped, and made its way towards the grandstand’s crash barrier upside down. After hitting the barrier, the Chinese driver’s vehicle ended up going over the top before becoming lodged between the crash barrier and the catch fence behind it. He was eventually rescued from the crash by paramedics and taken to a local hospital.
Despite the devastating crash and the time it took to free him from the car, Guanyu escaped the incident unscathed. He later took to Twitter to assure fans he was fine and credit the Halo with saving him.
I’m ok, all clear. Halo saved me today. Thanks everyone for your kind messages! pic.twitter.com/OylxoJC4M0

The Halo is arguably the most important feature added to a racing car in decades. It’s unsettling to think how much talent, including current and future world champions, would no longer be with us if it wasn’t for this fantastic safety innovation.
