Till date, discussions have been raging since the announcement and the big reveal. Opinions and reviews came flooding in, questioning the integrity and value of the Halo product. Critics ranged from frustrated drivers and fans to experts and pundits.

It is safe to say that this device has polarised Formula One. The ones in favour were keen to express its positives, critics have questioned what it brings to the table in terms of protection.
