'That is a life saved' - F2 driver survives horrific crash thanks to Halo

Nissany pushed Haug✅er off the track on the run down to Club corner in the final part of the Silverstone circuit on Lap 1 of the F2 feature race on Sunday morning.

Hauger picked up a puncture in the process mea🦂ning he had no control over his Prema car, running over the grass before being catapulted up into the air by the sausage kerb.

His car was se♊nt airborne and crashed onto the top of Nissany, before💜 both cars stopped in the gravel trap.

F2 commentator Tom Gaymor exclaime⛄d live on air: “That is a life saved”.

Had the safety device not been in pla🥀ce, Nissany might have not been able to walk away from that crash.

The Halo was introduced for the start of the 2018 F1 season 𝓰despite heavy criticism.

However, ⛦it has been integral in protecting drivers, most 🐷notably Romain Grosjean at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix.

It also protected seven-time F1 champꦫion Lewis Hamilton during his crash with title rival Max Verstappen at Monza last year, when the Dutchman’s Red Bull was launched onto the t൲op of Hamilton, even hitting his helmet in the process.
