Or that maybe he actually did say he doesn't like it, a few times (like almost every other team principle did), but there was nothing anyone could have done to stop the Halo going on the cars anyway. The FiA had mandated it.

LOL @ the conspiracy theorists with their 'Mercedes has issues with the Halo' comments!?? It was Mercedes that came up with the Halo design in the first place!

Not in the slightest - there was much discussion about alternatives and he was in at least some of those meetings, plenty of public discussion on which he could have commented at any time (I seem to recall Mr Lauda doing exactly that) and as someone deep in the middle of the game, he would have know what was going on.

I don't disagree with him but I don't really understand the need to make noise once the horse has well and truly bolted.

Edited to add - Oh goody, yet more areas for aerodynamic bits to be fittted and for the FIA to have to issue 'clarifications' about
Looking at the HALO, I am hoping that the teams' best efforts are foiled!

Can but hope!

Absolutely, plus the body work on either side of the cockpit really narrows the field of vision.

so obviously fans like us are pretty much in agreement...the HALO, despite its best intentions, looks horrible.

once the world at large sees them at the first race, will opinion reach another level of scrutiny and public backlash?

will this be like the failed change in quali from a few years back...when the world sees it in action for the first time, will the negative attention be enough for them to change the rules early/mid season?

so question, can the HALO be removed at this point?

maybe not during the early season fly away races but by the time they return for the European portion of the season?

I had posted awhile back something similar. I think there is a group who follow F1 during the off season (us) and most of that group are aware of what is going on and what it looks like. I think there is another tier of fans who are long standing F1 fans, but generally just start to pay attention as the first race weekend approached. I do expect there to be quite a large outcry from that second group who might currently be blissfully ignorant of what it looks like.

Short of a clear safety issue evolving during the year in which some type of serious accident is blamed by the Halo and that justification for removal can be on safety grounds I think there is next to zero chance it will be removed this year. Everyone will suck it up and deal with it. I wouldn't even put money on it being removed next year. Especially from a liability perspective they will need to have a replacement in the wings (and we already know they move extremely slow on this topic).

If Indycar windscreen proves successful during 2018 then I can imagine we might see something different (windscreen or canopy) for the 2020 season. I can imagine it's adoption for other series may be stopped (assuming they are not past a point of no return).

if public outcry is loud enough, i could see them 'manufacturing' a reason compelling enough to warrent their removal.

something minor of course, but a driver who has stopped trackside finds themselves getting stuck inside their HALO as they try to extract themselves without any help. then a red flag as assistance is given.

im picturing some sort of winnie the pooh getting stuck in a jar of honey type scenario.



more of a comedy of errors but enough to give cause for their removal!

but seriously...yeah i agree, think we are stuck with these things for a while!

same, i could genuinely see them switching to a windscreen and saying they thought it was of great importance to get something, anything onto the cars to protect the drivers.

But didn't the FIA say, they wanted something in place for this season? If they drop the Halo, how quickly can they implement another device, Shield included, without adequate testing?

They had a priority to introduce something that solved a problem. They also introduced a deadline. To do this they have introduced this. You could argue they could have developed something else, but, at least at one point, it looks like it wouldn’t be ready for the deadline. Now they can hone this, and look at other solutions to improve on this.

Please understand I’m not saying anything is actually needed. However, rather than just be glib I am attempting to understand a situation.

I wanted a house with a garage. At first I couldn’t afford one, so I moved in somewhere without a garage. I did not chose to get cold and wet every night until I could afford a house with a garage.

I don’t agree with this, but I can see how we have got here.

I agree with you Adam, the FIA started introducing solutions in 2011, since the teams have been prevaricating and preventing any movement, and people have died because of their lack of action.

Now the FIA have forced the issue, good move (seven years to introduce a roll hoop extension, just the cutting edge of progress), perhaps now the precious will find a more effective solution.

in fairness it doesn’t impose on the forward view much, though you’d not have to be far behind a car to lose it behind the centre pillar.

I hope it's gone in time and replaced by a windshield, that one is not only more elegant, but IMHO more practical than the halo

The issue as I see it is the imposition of a deadline, without thorough evaluation of the device before committing to it. IndyCar rejected the Halo because of banked ovals like Texas and have opted for the windshield, which is currently under evaluation. However, IndyCar have not committed to using it.

Problem is as soon as they had something that would work if they didn't introduce it and someone was hurt or killed in a situation that the halo would have prevented the legal ramifications (not to mention the medua outcry) would have been huge.

The only thing wrong with the halo, imo. is the way it looks which should be a very minor consideration for a safety device.

This is pretty much it although it's more like -

I lived in a house without a garage. I wanted a garage so I bought a house with a shed because it kinda looks like a garage. Then one day I might buy a house with a garage.

What I don't get is why this problem needed to be solved by this deadline. It's been a "problem" for 100 years, but we HAVE to fix it by 2018, even if it means a bad solution is used.

Unless you're rushing things in to make sure you get credit for the safety innovation that is. Then it makes sense.

That's because the FIA committed themselves, which is what IndyCar hasn't done.

The reason that F1 has the Halo is because Todt (and the FIA) announced that a suitable solution would be introduced for the 2017 season at the latest.

This was then extended to the commencement of 2018 because:

a) The Halo hadn't undergone sufficient testing

b) The teams wanted to evaluate the aero screen and/or other devices

c) Vettel and/or Ferrari (delete as applicable) didn't like the aero screen

and d) The teams were not prepared to spend further monies on developing a suitable substitute, and nor were the FIA.
