Formula One has breathed a sigh of relief after the sport’s new ‘halo’ head protection device saved Charles Leclerc from what might have been a potentially lethal impact.

His Sauber car bore the scars instead, tyre marks showing where Fernando Alonso’s McLaren had bashed against the bodywork and halo as it flew over the 20-year-old Monegasque rookie’s head.

“We can end the HALO discussion now. It will save lives,” tweeted 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg after seeing the images.
