@@islamlens6718the halo is the circular part that peaks up around the drivers head and is a safety feature on the car to save the driver and keep the car off the driver if it flips. While googling I found out that it’s also meant to help with escape from the car in some circumstances. The halo has raised the chance of survival for a driver by 17% according to Wikipedia.
Exactly, one of the hardest non fatal crashes I've ever seen. If things would've gone just a tiny bit different, Robert might've ended up like Jeff Krosnoff.
After watching the Senna crash live, when i saw the Kubica one I actually thought i was looking at a dead man. Massive kudos to the safety improvements intrduced to F1 at that stage ss the monocoque held up perfectly
Looking at how much Kubica's head is thrown around, it's truly a miracle he didn't die right then and there, not even mentioning the initial impact, holy smokes. Lucky kurwa, such a brilliant driver.
This is obvious, but... ... the crashes are so much more _realistic/violent/scary_ for those of us watching it on TV when we can hear the cars breaking apart, skidding, and hitting the wall or barrier.
Wait till a car finally goes up over a wall with no catch fence. Or like Zouh you get caught between two fences and then your car catches on fire. That scares me.
All these crash footage are just terrible moments when an F1 car can turn into a coffin that invites you to death with the driver on board. And also to our viewers, the engine sound sounds very lively, but from the in-vehicle video, we can see that the moment of the crash is actually quiet, and it's also very scary.
The Americans began to take safety seriously while F1 still thought guardrails were for poofs. Then Jackie Stewart found himself on a filthy concrete floor at Spa, waiting for an ambulance to show up. He had the clout to change the culture. Many drivers are still alive because of it.
