READING NOW The secret hero of the disastrous accident in Formula 1!

The world of Formula 1 was once again on the agenda with the race that took place on 3 July. The 10th leg of the Formula 1 World Championship took place at the British GP. However, an incredible accident marked the race. Guanyu Zhou crashed and was dragged upside down for meters.

Guanyu Zhou: “Halo saved me”

The race held at the Silverstone Track in the Northamptonshire region of England was breathtaking. The race won by the Spanish driver Carlos Sainz of the Ferrari team scared the audience with the terrible accident.

The detail that saved Guanyu Zhou from death in the accident involving the vehicles of Yuki Tsunoda from Ipha Tauri, Esteban Ocon from Alpine, George Russell from Mercedes, Guanyu Zhou from Alfa Romeo and Alexander Albon from Williams once again attracted attention.

Race cars have partially enclosed titanium shields that form a protective layer around their cockpit. The protection shield, known as the Halo cockpit, almost saved the driver’s life. Zhou, who was dragged upside down for meters in the accident, announced that he was fine with a tweet after the accident.

I’m fine, everything is clean. Halo saved me today. Thanks everyone for your kind messages!


Halo cockpit

Halo was originally designed by Mercedes-Benz Motorsports. However, in the ongoing process, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) stepped in during the development process. Halo cockpits were criticized from time to time by F1 enthusiasts for fear of how they could spoil the aesthetics. However, the incident that took place yesterday is a response to these criticisms.
