I spent the weekend in Modena, not for any sort of Ferrari pilgrimage, but instead on an eating adventure for my mothers birthday. We flew into Bologna airport, a place I last went through in 2014 when heading to Imola for the 20th anniversary commemoration of Ayrton Senna.As I passed through Bologna this time, it was the one-year anniversary of the death of Jules Bianchi.The death of Senna is often pointed to as one of the key turning points in the history of F1s focus on safety. Efforts to improve safety for drivers, circuit officials, and attendant fans had been ongoing in spurts since Sir Jackie Stewart first took a stand in the 1960s, leading to dramatically improved trackside medical care and the application of safety standards to circuit design, but that black weekend in Imola that saw both Senna and Roland Ratzenberger lose their lives marked the last F1 driver fatalities for 20 years.Dramatic accidents such as Robert Kubicas Montreal crash, Mark Webber performing an aerial somersault over Heikki Kovalainen, or Jarno Trulli landing on top of Karun Chandhok in Monaco, all saw the drivers involved walk away with little more than bruising or minor injuries. Safety-related research was applied to the design of the cars, and became an ever more vital part of the rulebook.Each of the aforementioned crashes had its own role to play in the development of safety, as indeed have all of the other incidents weve seen on track. Sebastien Buemis double suspension failure in practice for the 2010 Chinese Grand Prix led to the introduction of a second wheel tether for the 2011 season. Felipe Massas head injury in Budapest 2009 led to advances in helmet design, with the addition of a Zylon visor strip to help spread the energy absorption from any impact.In the 22 months since Jules crashed during the rain-soaked 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, considerable research has been underway to try and improve cockpit protection for the drivers, and the result (as seen this season) has been the development of both the Halo and the Aeroscreen, both of which have been tested on track with the aim of introducing one of the devices in 2017 if possible.The Halo concept has been divisive, welcomed by some drivers and disliked by others, and it is expected that any form of cockpit protection is likely to be delayed until 2018 to allow for further testing to take place.Fernando Alonsos dramatic crash at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, from which the Spanish racer was lucky to emerge largely unscathed when the force of the impact is taken into account, raised its own questions about the efficacy of the Halo, with former F1 driver and Sky pundit Johnny Herbert asking: Would that halo have caused more problems of getting out of the car? Probably. It will be thought about properly for next year.The more immediate safety impact to result from Bianchis heavy crash under yellow flags in Suzuka was the introduction of the Virtual Safety Car for the 2015 season, used when double waved yellow flags are needed on any section of track and competitors or officials may be in danger, but the circumstances are not such as to warrant use of the safety car itself.The 2016 technical regulations included their own modifications to cockpit design for improved safety, with the head protection structures now 20mm higher than in 2015, and required to resist a compression load of 50N per 30 seconds. In order to improve analysis of any accidents, drivers must now wear in-ear accelerometers during every session of a race weekend and all multi-team tests (i.e. not straight-line aero testing or filming days when they alone are on track). Every car is equipped with a high-speed camera.Formula One is not resting on its laurels when it comes to future safety developments, with the FIA now actively pushing for improved biometric monitoring of their drivers. Speaking to AUTO earlier this year, FIA Safety Delegate Laurent Mekies said: The next step is biometrics - gathering data from drivers such as heart rate, body heat and even sweat levels. I hope that we will be able to put something on a driver before the end of the season, at least in a test.You could imagine a million things tomorrow - you could imagine us trying to estimate the loads on the actual upper body of the drivers through the safety belts, for instance, he added. It is something that will never stop as much as safety research will never stop and we will continue to push the boundaries to gain a deeper understanding. Terry Bradshaw Youth Jersey .
