The roll hoop on Zhou’s Alfa Romeo F1 car is likely to be the focus of an FIA investigation into a frightening crash that red flagged the BritishGP. ⬇️
As part of the never-ending quest for improved safety, motor racing's governing body pores over the details of each major accident to better understand the factors that worked as planned to help the driver – and areas where perhaps improvement can be made.
The arrival of Mercedes’ solution in 2010 led to action from the FIA, amid concerns that, given how narrow the structure was, it might dig in to the ground on a soft surface if the impact was in the wrong place. In the case of the latest incident, the FIA will have access to G-load sensors, telemetry data and the actual car parts to fully understand what factors were at play, and if the blade style structure performed any differently to how a more regular roll hoop would.
