F1 reaction after halo saves Leclerc
F1 reaction after halo saves Leclerc
The start of the Belgian Grand Prix featured one of the biggest crashes in recent Formula 1 history - as well as one of the most notable as the McLaren of Fernando Alonso thumped the cockpit of Charles Leclerc's Sauber, with the halo coming to the rescue of the Monegasque driver. F1 personalities present and past were quick to react...
End of the race in the 1st corner. Frustrating.
Never been a fan of the halo but I have to say that I was very happy to have it over my head today !

I’m very happy to see that our joint campaign to introduce the Halo brought such a tremendous result yesterday. Congratulations to all those who supported the initiative and carried out the hard work @Charles_Leclerc @alo_oficial pic.twitter.com/kgqKiR9iPn — Paddy Lowe (@paddylowe) August 27, 2018
Safety first. That’s why we introduced the #Halo @alo_oficial @Charles_Leclerc https://t.co/z3gmC8jCVu — Jean Todt (@JeanTodt) August 26, 2018
Mat. The F1 Halo was greeted with horror when first mooted. Might have saved another life already. We got to change. Its not worth it. #MotoGP #F1 https://t.co/hOm2XqR1r5 — Damon Hill (@HillF1) August 26, 2018
And people still think race cars shouldn’t have them.
We could have lost another fantastic talent today without it.#HALO #WellDoneF1 pic.twitter.com/rfX5lWqcKX — M A X Chilton (@maxchilton) August 26, 2018
Charles Leclerc’ car. Safe to say the halo discussion is now closed. #belgianGP pic.twitter.com/EcSxvk2GTm — Giedo van der Garde (@GvanderGarde) August 26, 2018
