My condolences to the family.
I can't believe that wheel teathers have been in place in F1 since Senna's accident but haven't been put in place in the lower
formulas.
I know it's about cost, but I'm sure they will be in place next season. Just a shame it takes a fatal accident to push the safety
improvements through

Of course the F2 series is brand new and is run by MSV, which is headed by Jonathan Palmer who's son is in the series. I would assume that
these cars have wheel restraints of some description given how new the cars are.

its about time they fitted proper cages to all these cars, people heads should not be sticking out.

Iv always thought a aircraft style cockpit cover would be a good safety feature.

Very sad news. 2 Young drivers gone in the last month or so.
The F2s do have tethers (or are meant to), we run them in F3 too because of FIA rules.
Something obviously went wrong or there is a design flaw because I have seen bigger crashes where the wheels have stayed tethered and there has been 3
accidents where the wheels have seperated from the car this season in F2.
RIP Henry.
