Two racing drivers have been involved in a horror crash at the British Grand Prix - with experts saying it could have been deadly but for a life-saving "Halo" device. Formula 2 drivers Roy Nissany and Dennis Hauger collided on the opening lap at Silverstone on Sunday, as Hauger's car was launched over the "sausage" kerb and sent airborne towards Nissany. Hauger's vehicle landed on top of his rival at speed, before both cars came to a stop in the gravel. Incredibly, both drivers escaped unhurt and television replays showed it was the Halo - the cockpit-fixed safety device introduced to Formula 1 and Formula 2 in 2018 - that had saved the life of Nissany.

The poll revealed that families had withdrawn almost £300 on average from their children’s savings so far this year. It found a third of the 2,000 people questioned had raided their children’s funds this year and suggested a total of £1.4bn has been withdrawn so far.
