Max Verstappen says role of Halo in Charles Leclerc's Spa crash made 'too dramatic'

MONZA, Italy -- Max Verstappen feels the arguments around the role Halo played in protecting Charles Leclerc during his Belgian Grand Prix crash have been overblown.

At the start of the race in Spa Nico Hulkenberg missed his braking point and slammed into the back of Fernando Alonso's McLaren. That sent Alonso's car over the top of Leclerc's Sauber and replays which have emerged since the race show the role the Halo played in deflecting it away.
