Ferrari mounts mirrors to Halo of its F1 car

BARCELONA, Spain -- Ferrari has unveiled the most creative use of Formula One's Halo device so far, having mounted its rear-view mirrors to the side of the structure.

The Spanish Grand Prix is traditionally the first opportunity for Formula One's European-based teams to introduce significant upgrades after four races in the southern hemisphere. Much of the intrigue so far this week has been around Ferrari's decision to place its mirrors on the side of the Halo along with an extra winglet.

Ahead of the last race in Baku, the FIA clarified the rules around the safety device -- controversially made mandatory for the 2018 season -- to confirm mirrors could be fitted in this fashion in order to improve visibility for drivers.
