Halo is the wrong solution

Half-baked halo! Nice to see the elegant windscreen being tested by Indycar. It is a shame it was rejected by F1 without a considered trial.

However, the real problem with the halo is that it is the wrong solution.

It is a knee-jerk reaction to Jules Bianchi’s horrific crash, but I doubt the result would be any different if you fired a halo car into the rear of a 10-ton recovery tractor. No work has gone into improving the tractors that are still on our tracks, unprotected. David Fidgeon By email
