F1 | Stricter checks on roll cages for 2023
All after Zhou's accident at Silverstone
Zhou's accident at Silverstone raised many questions regarding safety. The cars are certainly tanks from many points of view, but it immediately became apparent how the roll-cage, placed above the drivers' heads, shattered almost immediately upon impact with the asphalt, effectively not doing the own work, and this is precisely why the halo may have saved the life of the Chinese Alfa Romeo driver.
For this reason, the Formula 1 technical advisory committee met with the FIA in the last few hours, announcing that controls regarding the robustness of roll cages will be tightened for next year. The International Federation has made it known that the teams have made themselves available to introduce more rigorous measures starting from next season, and the FIA itself has undertaken to analyze the new requirements for the safety of roll cages, but what will these measures be? it is not yet known.
