In the early morning of July 4, after suffering a serious rollover accident at the F1 British station, Zhou Guanyu reported to everyone that he was safe through his personal social media.
Zhou Guanyu said that Halo rescued him, and the entry "Halo system has made great contributions" also instantly became the number one searched.
The Halo system is dubbed "flip-flops" by fans because of its appearance - Halo is a system designed to provide drivers with adequate head protection in open-wheel races dominated by formula racing.
It is mainly used to protect the driver from flying debris and retains the open cockpit typical of formula cars.
Tests have shown that the Halo system can withstand a static load of 15 times the mass of the vehicle itself in the event of a car-to-car collision, which can significantly reduce potential injuries.
