To be honest, in 2017 with the new wider cars, it looked kind of odd,like you had the nose coming up then its flat then all of the sudden it's just like a 90 degree turn upwards so I feel like the halo smoothens it out and makes the car look more sleek

Speaking from the future where I have seen it in action, this thing as saved ALOT of drivers from serious injury, it’s a genius design, minimal but incredibly effective.
@@EricDerLetsPlayer if you look at the pictures after the crash you can clearly see how the car that flew over Leclerc scrapped a bunch of paint of which could have likely killed Leclerc had it not been there
Charles Leclerc in Belgian GP 2018, Romain Grosjean in Bahrain GP 2020, Lewis Hamilton in Italian GP 2021, and now Guanyu Zhou in British GP 2022. These are the drivers who's been saved by a true hero, it's called HALO.
What i get from the comments.... Armchair racers are furious about some doohickey that doesn't look nice but could save a life......aaaaaaand i don't care one bit.
I stand corrected. At first I didn't really like it. But at Mugello, it changed my perspective, it saved Carlos Sainz. And at Bahrain, I can see halo is definitely a lifesaver.
@RusiTonkkari77 It was Halo. I don't whether God exists or not but even if God exists it was die Halo for sure, without it Grosjean would be dead ☠💀like other drivers in the past(which for some reason reminds of Senna idk why?)
James it’s a privilege to have someone of your expertise stepping up and presenting to Mercedes fans so clearly and calmly. Great media management Mercedes!
I still prefer the windshield design but I think the halo dose help. Still gonna miss the look of the old cars where there was an unobstructed view of the helmet but I’m for safety
@@HomemadeBrownies1I dont know about that. A lot of the early 2000s cars (which was my childhood) just wont go out of style to me. Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo, Renault Clio V6, Lotus Elise Series 2, CLK DTM, Audi R10 TDI, Bentley Speed 8. And the F1 cars of that era are no exception. Although I gotta say the halo doesn’t look hideous anymore. It looks fine, however a good camera angle goes a long way at making it look even better.
Soft walls and HANS devices have saved countless lives in NASCAR since the death of Dale Earnhardt. Yesterday marked the first life clearly saved by the halo in F1. Change is hard, but I hope everyone sees now why safety changes prevent devastating tragedies.
When you read the comments from 4 years ago, there were a lot of arm chair engineers claiming it wouldn't work or worse cause deaths. Just goes to show that while we're all entitled to an opinion, professional engineers and scientists do in fact now what they are talking about.
every once in a while i like to come back to this and remember how many people were bitching about the halo, when it was introduced. and now just a few years later it has already saved countless lifes including lewis hamiltons.
UA-cam suggests me to watch this after Romain's crash at 2020 Bahrain GP... We all gotta appreciate this sport is secured by most advanced technologies and well prepared people such as marshalls and rescue teams.
Great video, I like how you mentioned that F1 innovation is always improving and how although it may alter the aerodynamics of the vehicle, each team is allowed to modify the mount on which the halo sits. Good Stuff, Eli Rivera
I remember seeing DC wearing one of the first HANS devices and then subsequent designs which got smaller, tidier and better fitting to the drivers' shoulders and upper chest areas - I expect to see the same sort of improvements made of the Halo. In its current guise, it's ugly and is far too big and cumbersome. As the years pass, I think the Halo will get a little smaller, a little more refined and looking like it was MEANT to be a part of an F1 car, not just an ugly afterthought of an accoutrement.
Kris A Wrong. The halo will never look good no matter what you do. It will be changed in the years to come, to the other Designs that were brought forth. Do your research bro before you just spew your useless opinion.
I see... the UA-cam algorithm did it again. As much as HALO was shunned and smiled at at the beginning i guess by now we're all more then happy that it exists.
I m here because of Monza F1 Race in which Redbull Max car crashed in to Mercedes Lewis Car...and somehow Lewis saved by this halo tech....that's a masterpiece in F1 Car. HATS OFF
The way it looked pays no significance to the life saving protection it provided yesterday 29/11/20. This device will be viewed forever more as just as important as when the seatbelt was introduced to racing. Well done to all teams for embracing the halo, as yesterday the F1 community witnessed a moment that we hope never to see again and so grateful a driver walked away safe 🙏🏻
I think the one they tested last year was non-structural (just to see how it looked and what drivers thought of it), and so just made from carbon fibre, but the real thing was always titanium with carbon fibre wrapped around it.
I was thinking that video was 6 years ago , and thought the video was uploaded in year 2016 or around that and was confused that how halo can be explained in 2016 when it was first used in 2018 season , then i realised 2018 was 6 YEARS AGO ........ time flies ;-{
I think in the future they will develop a crystal clear dome, ofc strong enough to protect the passenger, it will not only bring protection but also an improved vision for the driver, well , that's just my idea.
Funny thing ,Max Crashtappen was crying complaining there was no space when he's the one who needed to back off and shouldn't have drove in ,he was greedy for overtake .
