What happened to the start of the British Grand Prix of Silverstone had immediately raised the alarm for the Federation, teams and drivers, after having seen the roll-bar disintegrates upon contact with the asphalt of the car of Guanyu Zhou. The saving presence of the Halo, which protected the head of the Alfa Romeo standard bearer, allowed the Chinese to emerge unscathed from a truly frightening carom. Therefore, the discussion regarding the roll-bar and the load tests to which they are subjected by the FIA during the crash tests is inevitable, bearing in mind that Alfa Romeo is the only team to use a specification formed by a single blade, and not of prismatic or ogival shape, as on other cars. This solution, although unique and advantageous in terms of weight, nevertheless complies with the regulations of the technical regulations and therefore received the green light from the bodies in charge.
In yesterday’s meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee, in the presence of FIA, F1 and technical directors of the teams, the theme of the roll hoop was discussed, with the Federation which is carrying out the related analyzes and is committed to communicating as soon as possible to the i new requirements. The same teams have confirmed their willingness to introduce tougher measures ahead of 2023which in all likelihood will revise the required structural strength criteria.
