Can someone explain to me what a halo is as I don’t really watch F1?

It's the ring you see around the cockpit. The drivers helmets were unprotected until a few years ago, and people were REALLY against it because of "tradition"

e: As someone who doesn't follow the sport, what changed ~1980?

actual improvements to the chassis to try and like, survive crashes. Chassis made of Carbon instead of aluminum, larger openings so drivers could get out, etc.

Alot could be said for Niki Lauda surviving his crash and then coming back, but freaking the gently caress out about safety and forcing the FIA to make changes
