MONZA, Italy -- The next generation of Formula 2 cars will feature the Halo head protection device from 2018 onwards.
In a push for improved driver safety, all new cars introduced in FIA single-seater series from 2018 onwards will feature Halo. F2, a single make series, will be the first alongside F1 to feature the Halo and the new chassis with a prototype device attached was revealed in the Monza paddock.
The FIA was not originally planning to introduce Halo to F2 cars for next year, but chassis partner Dallara will now modify the car to accommodate the safety device ahead of testing in December.
