The Frenchman considers the appearance of the Halo to be a good step forward in terms of safety but regrets its visual appearance, making it difficult to see the driver's helmet from the stands or from his television.

Grosjean: “We can no longer even see the decoration of the helmet”

Director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA), Romain Grosjean (Haas) has been campaigning for several years for enhanced safety in the cockpits of F1. The Frenchman logically has a say in the introduction this season of the Halo, which is supposed to protect the drivers' heads.

“I hope that Halo represents a transitional phase, and that we will soon find something better, recognizes the Haas driver from the English site Crash.net. This is a first step. I can get used to driving with the Halo, it's fine, but there is one area that doesn't concern me but which I find sad, and that is thatwe no longer see the pilots at all (from the outside). »

“At the end of the day, we have a driver sitting in a car and we only get one helmet decoration per year. But you can't even see the decoration of the helmet anymore, so I think another solution would be more appropriate.", indicates the tricolor, who has paid particular attention to the colors of his helmet for many seasons.
