In the event that anyone was not watching the Belgian Grand Prix this morning, there was a huge wreck in Turn 1. Fernando Alonso was hit from behind by Nico Hulkenberg and Alonso's car was physically launched over the top of Charles LeClerc.

F1 has been using halos since last year. After seeing this wreck and how the halo pretty much saved LeClerc, I do not know what IndyCar is waiting for.

Oh. Wait. They are ugly. Drivers know the risks. I guess with that line of thinking, we should have just let this young man get his head taken off. Right naysayers?

Aftermath: The black marks are where Alonso's chassis hit/landed. It doesn't take a genius to figure out where LeClerc's head was.
