I think everyone is ok with the Halo after the impact of Grosjean

[soul]

Just witnessed a miracle. Now people understand it’s importance?

It really just saved Zhou’s life, this is the best thing ever introduced to F1.

I wasn’t a fan of the halo at first. But I have always said ; “if it saves 1 life, it was all worth it”

The Halo has saved -
2018 Spa - Charles Leclerc
2020 Sakhir - Romain Grosjean
2021 Imola - Valtteri Bottas and George Russell
2021 Monza - Lewis Hamilton
2022 Silverstone - Zhou Guanyu
You can see a debris flying into George's car and it hit the halo

No explanation needed. Just need to know that it saved my beautiful baby Leclerc

Jules Bianchi was holding a protective hand over his best friend Charles

Who else just came to see the amount of Halo hate in the comment section, and then was thoroughly surprised to see barely any?

First Grosjean, now Lewis. Two lives definitely saved by the halo.

I actually always thought the halo makes the car's look better... Pre 2017 cars just seem to miss something

[sebastianvettel]

Alright F1, you've won. Never thought I'd like this thing honestly

[aestheticzea]

This is how F1 says "Told ya so"

[bauerbarry]

Lewis getting saved in Monza 2021 is making me appreciate the halo even more

[Flash]

You know, it's quite ironic to know that Jules' crash and following death pushed the Halo to be implemented this year ultimately saving Charles' life, his best freaking friend! Whoever is still against the Halo device or any safety measure for open cockpits can leave right now.

Turns out the halo is stronger than the UK’s economy

what a brilliant addition to safety this was. there would've been such a tragedy today if we lost zhou in his rookie season. instead, he made it out okay and we got a phenomenal race. thank you for the halo, F1.

[Finkelfunk]

And F1 is like: let's rub it in just for the HALO-haters :^)

[doubleaviation]

In my opinion the halo makes the cars look cooler and more modern.

All hail to the great halo, Marshalls and everyone involved saving Romain’s life. My heart literally dropped when that incident happened.. glad he is okay and still alive.
