If you saw the last man who lost his life... a tire about 3 years ago bounced off a wall, and ended up going perfectly right into the helmet by rare luck, and it instantly snapped his neck. You can see the car went full speed still because the man lost all ability when the tire snapped him quick... and went into the wall (all on dashcam)

A Halo device is a weapon used by the Forerunners to wipe out all sentient life in the galaxy in order to stop the Flood.

Wish this was introduced few years earlier as it could've have save Jules Bianchi, who died of injuries to the head at Japanese grand prix.

Most pathetic thing was this life threatening accident is not seen seriously within the F1 community. One in Spanish commentary they were laughing at the incident while watching the replay.

The Halo was introduced in 2018. It's benefits have been experienced by many in the last 4 years. It was criticised by drivers and many on the grid because it was obstructing the vision of drivers which is true. Now the whole of F1 has adapted to this modification and THIS IS AN OLD STORY NOW.

But why showing this information it as if it is a significant thing?

Because it was Hamilton's head? Seriously?? There are many accidents that happened before which was even more scary specially Grosjean's accident in Baharain. Also this accident was more like a racing incident and not anyone's fault. However, Max got the penalty but Hamilton was equally to blame if you want to pick sides.

Never did you do any coverage on any F1 race and now all of a sudden why? Because the tennis world is watching F1?

This news is just old and half-baked information and also misleading. Even the F1 news didn't make it a big deal.

Very informative. I'm glad he is okay. But there's a big difference between "thanking the halo" and "thanking God for the halo". Ultimately, he is still alive b'cos of God's mercy & not any device. You need to be more accurate in your reporting.
