The halo might have saved a driver from a serious injury for the first this weekend, as Formula 2 driver Tadasuke Makino was saved by the carbon fibre bar when he crashed at the Circuit de Catalunya!

Makino came into contact with fellow Honda development driver Nirei Fukuzumi at the Circuit de Catalunya, where the Formula 2 race took place only hours before the actual Grand Prix of Spain.
