From 2018, All F1 cars will be fitted with Halo cockpit protection device, a decision that has spilt the world of F1.

The Halo device is the FIA's chosen cockpit protection system for 2018, and it's safe to say the decision has split the paddock.

Here, Sky F1's Damon Hill delves into the details of the Halo - looking at its safety features, aesthetics and how it could have helped in previous motorsport accidents.

The feature includes interviews with several current drivers, as well as FIA race director Charlie Whiting and Mercedes' Niki Lauda.

The Halo may not be universally popular but it seems it's here to stay, and this debate is essential viewing ahead of its introduction.
