F1 | Alonso on Halo: “It's difficult to see the mechanics and the green light at the pit stop”

The system Halo continues to be discussed: the new driver's cab protection element which in 2018 It will be mounted on all cars and is causing quite a bit of trouble for drivers and mechanics. In fact, there are still many drawbacks that it entails: “We are getting used to the new element. There are disadvantages: from the convenience of entering the cockpit to the positioning of the car on the pit stop" - he has declared Fernando Alonso, pilot of the McLaren, after testing Halo in free practice Sepang. “Also it is difficult to see the mechanics, as is the green light of the pit light”.

The hope is to be able to patch up these anomalies by the start of next season: “Small changes will need to be made, which is why we are trying it out” – concluded Alonso.
