STEINER praised the FIA ​​for ignoring opponents of the HALO system

Günther Steiner, the head of the Haas team, praised the FIA ​​for insisting on the introduction of a safety bow or Halo system, which certainly saved the life of Romain Grosjean at the Bahrain GP race on Sunday.

Racing car VF-20 he broke through the fence and French, who had previously been opposed to the introduction of this protective bow, has now admitted to saving his life. “Even though race cars are safe, I think we should still be lucky or have someone above us," he said Steiner. "In any case, a lot of work has been invested. Just look at Hello - a lot of us were against it when it was proposed a few years ago, but now I think it has already saved some lives."

The head of the Haas team thanked the umbrella organization FIA for insisting on the introduction of the Halo system, which saved Romain Grosjean's life in the Bahrain GP race.

South Tyrol continues: “I’m sure we should be grateful to the people who pushed these things forward. After the accident, I spoke to Jean Todt and thanked him for his efforts to introduce the Halo system. It’s the same with Stefan Domenicali, who called me and I told him, it’s good that you persevered, even though we were infidels. So without all this hard work, it would have ended differently," so Steiner.
