Jon, it seems that they get in the car with the Halo attached, well Daniel Ric did in the Silverstone drive today on the new RB14. So I think they must all get in that way.

Saw this, Halo looks terrible!!!!!

Yes they are allowed to have up to a 20mm fairing on the Halo to stop it affecting the airflow into the engine intake above the drivers head.

I watched a segment recently from Mercedes James Allison and he said the impact was minimal and reduced to negligible with a fairing. But not yet seen every car so will be interesting to see who uses one and who doesn’t.

The cars will all look different on the grid in Melbourne, they will sprout several appendages
