I hope it's okay to reply to an old"ish" topic?
So, the dreaded Halo ... how do we feel about it now??
I know we all despised the sheer mention of it pre-2018 and I for one, was not a fan of it, while appreciating safety concerns for the drivers. The basic argument has swung back and fourth throughout the season, ironically, being questioned in the very last race in Abu Dhabi.
Looking at Niko Hulkenberg's accident, would it be accurate to suggest the Halo did it's job as they can rolled and briefly landed on the cockpit .... while at the same time, restricted/hindered access for medical personal to remove Niko from the cockpit, especially with concerns that the car could catch fire!!
What are your thoughts on the Halo's role in 2018 ... and as it's likely here to stay, will future car designs have the Halo blend in better with the shape/curves of the car??
Best Regards,
Cal :)

I think the halo has proved it's worth more than once this season. The shunt at the beginning of Spa comes to mind. Hulkenberg punted Alonso from behind. Alonso's McLaren slid across the halo on LeClerc' s Sauber. The tire marks left on the Sauber showed what could have happened without the halo.
There is room for improvement. As mentioned, Nico's shunt last weekend showed both the good and bad aspects of it.
