An impression that the Halo is simply plonked on the cockpit of a race car like some titanium monstrosity is negated by the brief but informative video Mercedes released this week.
Technical chief James Allison needs no exaggeration to get across the detail study made necessary by the need to have the Halo and chassis support the weight of a London double-deck bus. For non-techies like me, such a powerful analogy is far more effective than simply saying they have to deal with a load of 12.65 tonnes.
The video also begins to literally put the Halo in some sort of perspective.
