The Halo was instituted during the 2018 season. It comprises a hoop above the driver's head and a post directly in front of them, which is both a support and a means of deflecting debris approaching the car at high speed.
Zhou was entering turn one of the Silverstone Circuit at the start of the race when he was clipped from behind by Mercedes-Benz driver George Russell, who had made contact with Alpha Tauri driver Pierre Gasly at approximately 140 mph.
