What Exactly Is The Halo System?

The Halo system is nicknamed "flip-flops" by fans because of its looks - Halo is a system designed to provide drivers with adequate head protection in open-wheel races dominated by formula racing. It is mainly used to protect the driver from flying debris and retains the open cockpit typical of formula cars. In the test, the Halo system can withstand a static load of 15 times the mass of the vehicle itself in the case of a car-to-car collision, which can significantly reduce potential injuries. That is to say, this 7kg component can withstand a shock force of about 12 tons and is the strongest part of the whole car. In the official description of F1, there is a more vivid metaphor - bearing the weight of a double-decker bus.
