Halo security system rescued Zhou Guanyu?

On the evening of the 3rd of Beijing time, the departure stage of Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu was involved in the collision accident during the departure stage of the F1 British station. It is not a big deal. On the same day of the F2 British station event, there were also two racing cars caused serious accidents. Fortunately, there was nothing to do. The accident is frequent, but the racer can retreat all over the body and cannot just explain it with luck.

"I'm okay, I can stand here by lucky, and today Halo saved me." As Zhou Guanyu reported on Ping An's Weibo after the game, the HALO safety system that each car in F1 was forced to install is to remove luck. The biggest savior outside.

Judging from the scene photos of the accident, Zhou Guanyu's car rolling rack has been broken, which means that the car that "top down" and fly out of the track at a high speed is to be supported by the frame of the HALO security system. Protect Zhou Guanyu's head to avoid severe and even fatal frictions and collisions.

It is understood that Halo is a safety system that provides sufficient head protection for racing drivers for high -speed driving cars. It is made of titanium alloy materials. Its looks are ridiculed by Chinese netizens as "human character drag". Tests show that when the vehicle collides, the system can withstand the static load of 10 times the quality of the vehicle itself, protecting the driver's head from the damage of flying debris or impacts.

In the 2014 F1 Japanese station competition, the driver Bi Anqi hit the track of the crane crane on the rainway panel and was severely damaged and eventually died. Affected by this, the FIFA decided to introduce HALO systems in the 2018 F1 competition and various single -seater Formula Racing.

HALO has a full technology and expensive cost. The starting price is 15,000 euros (about RMB 100,000). It was once questioned and opposed. Fans said that the system's appearance was not good, and the cockpit would no longer be completely open. It looks completely out of the original appearance of the Formula Racing. In addition to the external doubts, the F1 racing drivers are not optimistic about this "weird" device installed on the car, which leads to the shortcomings of the racing weight gain and some uphill sections of the section of the road section. In the group meeting, 9 of the 10 teams voted against the HALO system.

However, the fact that many serious accidents were survived in the subsequent accidents, and gradually verified the effectiveness of the Halo system. HALO, who "repeatedly established", gradually won the support and affirmation of the F1 events and the audience.

Since the 2018 season, Halo has saved several racers in many deadly incidents. In the 2018 Belgium station, Leclair's car was hit by another car. He was relieved of life threats under the protection of Halo. In the 2020 season, Roman Gross made the driver's car suddenly out of control into a quarantine guardrail. The car was broken and blasted instantly. Gros, who had not supported the Halo system, made the final thrilling escape and was only injured. In the 2021 season, Monza Station, Hamilton collided with Westpanpan, and Vestpan's car was reached into the air by Hamilton's racing. If it was not for the Halo system, Hamilton may be in danger of life.

With the use of a large number of cutting -edge technology, the safety of Formula Motors is constantly improving, and the tragedy caused by racing accidents is also decreasing.
