This system may have a big role

In the F1 British Grand Prix on the evening of the 3rd, Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu suffered a serious accident. Fortunately, there is the protection of the Halo system, Zhou Guanyu is not a big deal. What is the Halo system? It is mainly used to protect the driver from being invaded by flying debris and retains the unique open cockpit of Formula Racing. Because of its appearance, many fans are nicknamed "human character drag". Test data shows that when the Halo system collides with a car, it can withstand the static load of 15 times the quality of the vehicle itself and effectively protect the safety of the driver. In other words, this 7 kg weight component can withstand the impact of about 12 tons, which is the strongest part of the car. F1's official description is very interesting -it can withstand the weight of a double -layer bus. In addition, in the test of the vehicle's environment, Halo can prevent helmets from contacting walls or obstacles.

The Halo head protection system is made of titanium alloy material. F1 has been introduced since the 2018 season, but it was all opposed sounds at the beginning.

Because HALO increased the weight of 7 kg, and due to the design reasons, it affected the stability of the vehicle's center of gravity and chassis tolerance, and increased the cost of debugging and research and development of each team.

From the perspective of air dynamics, Halo also changed the kinetic energy at the downstream airflow, especially at the rear wing ... More people doubt that installing Halo will increase the escape time from the cockpit.

At that time, the managers of Mercedes -Benz team talked, "If there is a chance, I want to use a saw to see HALO." The driver, including Alonso, also expressed his unaccustomed habit of HALO, thinking that There is nothing.

However, many sectors have proved that Halo is extremely important for racing.
