Based on what they’ve said about the halo so far, he would have been safe if he’d only hit a double-decker bus.

Bianchi's crash destroyed the roll bar, it would've sheared the halo right off. Even if you somehow build cockpit protection that holds up to that force, the rapid deceleration still results in brain damage.

Exactly, the halo is a lovely knee jerk reaction

No, only if a double decker bus fell on him. The thing is extremely over engineered.

That's why the halo is 'neutral' in the Bianchi crash: it was such a catastrophic event it wouldn't have made a difference one way or the other. The only difference that can be made is not having cars running under just double waved yellows when there's a 2 ton crane in the runoff in bad weather.

For all other incidents tested the halo is beneficial to driver safety. You can argue it's overkill, but I'll take overkill over killed drivers, thanks.

Thankfully they are finally overhauling the regulations this year. Now, instead of lifting with a crane, disabled cars will be shunted off using double-decker buses.

The halo is beautiful.

Having seen them on the cars proper now I can safely say I have no strong feelings either way about them

I suspect it will be like when the tall narrow wings came in and you didn't even notice them by the 2/3rd race

I have lost the ability to care enough one way or the other to have an opinion on the halo.

I suspect in time I will grow to loath all the people bitching about it in comments sections though.

Or at least make the ads flow with the design and not just big white letters over top of an okay base design.

The Petrobras thing was probably a last minute addition and they didn't have a more fluid logo to use.

i looks like there's some fancy design on the top so you have something to look at when he hangs his head in shame.

The red bull helmets have the logo integrated well. Others have logos parallel with the lines of the design as to not break it up. This is just a helmet pulled off the shelf with some sponsor stickers slapped on.

Literally 95% of helmets are decent designs with random stickers slapped on them, you are being insanely stupid.
