Ferrari testing it HALO features

In today's pre season F1 testing session in Barcelona, Ferrari is testing the latest safety feature in F1 called HALO.

Plans for higher-performance F1 cars and increased driver head protection starting from the 2017 season have taken a step forward with the agreement of a new proposal to increase downforce and tyre widths.

The FIA also plans to introduce new cockpit protection for next season. The ‘halo’ concept is described as “currently the preferred option”, though others are under discussion.

Ferrari is the first team to be seen testing this latest feature today.
