ROMAIN GROSJEAN says he would have been killed had it not been for the halo cockpit protection system on his F1 car. When we arrive, when I get in the car, I know I’m taking risk and I respect the dangers that are in this sport. “I’m just so grateful the halo worked, grateful the barrier didn’t slice his head open or something like that, you know? The incident happened on the first lap as Grosjean’s car was clipped by Danill Kvyat’s AlphaTauri and sent hurtling towards the barriers. The halo parted the barriers – had it not been there, it would have been Grosjean’s head and a certain fatal accident. “I don’t think anyone can doubt the validity of the halo.
