Hello Halo
The first race in Australia represented the first real opportunity to see extensive running involving the definitive halo on a range of cars.
There was quite a level of comments arisen from this such as
- The interference of the halo in on-board camera shots from Formula 1 cars was met with a negative reaction by TV viewers and those in the Melbourne paddock.
- The starting Grid lights had to be moved at the last minute. Worst, the pole sitter was the one at most disadvantage
Of course, these are different reasons that I raised in my last blog. Nonetheless they do further point to this legislation being rushed with no proper consideration given to the sport itself
In another twist, the winner commented that it helped him in very much a different way that it was designed for. Quote "I think it was helpful here because the sun, when it's coming in the right height, it's blocking the sun in the eyes.” Although he went on to add “In the parade lap, that's when it was bothering because you couldn't see so well the people in the grandstands. I was trying to find, is it better to look below, or... I wasn't tall enough to get above.”
So, there you are, love it or loathe it is here to stay. I don’t like it. It's not attractive, and I'm waiting for a prettier, more effective solutions to appear in years to come. One benefit of this great engineering feast.
Enjoy the season

Artistic Umbrellas
It was a weekend car rally in the village so had the choice of listening to the cars for two days as they race up and down the old road to Malaga or go for Sunday lunch.
