SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Fernando Alonso said the Halo was "a very good thing to have" on F1 cars after his violent crash over the top of Charles Leclerc's car, which he blamed on the driving of Renault's Nico Hulkenberg.
Alonso was sent into a terrifying spin over the top of Charles Leclerc's Sauber when Hulkenberg appeared to misjudge his braking and slam into the back of his car. It was similar to the incident which eliminated Alonso from the 2012 race at the same corner, when Romain Grosjean caused a huge accident by also braking at the wrong moment.
