F1 British Grand Prix: What is halo and how does it save lives?

Tom Cruise was at the British Grand Prix this weekend and the action on the track looked like something from one of his films. He says he is the latest in a series of drivers to be saved by the halo safety device. Halo is a wishbone-shaped titanium bar that sits on top of the cockpit of the car and wraps around the driver’s head. Halo was first trialled in F1 in 2016 before it became mandatory in the sport two years later in 2018 to protect drivers’ heads from flying debris or the car flipping. But a few years later Hamilton said it had saved his life in his crash at the Italian Grand Prix in 2021. What is halo and how is it saving F1 drivers’ lives?.
