Can everyone now please agree the halo is a good thing?

Definitely but also a testament to to the way F1 cars are now designed to be as safe as possible. Think we all know how this would have played out even 5-10 years ago

So how did the halo save his life exactly?

I think the halo helped in opening up the barrier and taking it above his head. If it wasn’t there it would have hit him straight in the face at approx 140mph

If the Halo was not there it would have been his helmet that smashed into the barrier when the car pierced the barrier and broke in two. The last F1 driver whose helmet took the full force of a collision was the late Jules Bianchi.

Until he tells the powers to be we won’t know, or the experts and engineers on here can speculate.

After that today, perhaps Ronnie may want to rethink, especially as he’s free for the next week or so.

I'm glad no-one got more seriosly injured.
On the brighter side, at least we won't have to listen to Ben Edwards say Ba%$"hain again

Even tho it the same venue it's a very different track. IIRC they cut from turn 4 to turn 14 with only a couple of small kinks added. Should be a very very fast, very low downforce track.

Max must think Christmas has come early. Tough luck for him if Valteri gets his act together.

Big chance for Russell

Huge. although I think whatever happens Russell already has one foot in the Merc cockpit for 22. Big chance also for Jack Aitken, if he can stick with Latifi over the weekend it will do him no harm

I'm having a hard time understanding how this happened (Russell to Merc this weekend).
He is Williams' best chance to score any points this year, given the nature of the Sakir circuit layout.
So why would Williams agree to release him? It only makes sense if Merc have paid a shedload of money for it.
But Merc have nothing left to achieve this season, so why would they do that?
The only party who will gain from this is Russell himself. How did he swing it?
