it's called a halo, and it's to protect the heads of the drivers. here's a slow mo ppl hated it in th3 beginning.
It has saved the lives of many of its opponents, like Grosjean, and has since its introduction has proven itself many times. Amazing how much safer F1 is today.
totally forgot about grosjean. at about 1:25 you can see that the car punched through the bottom rails and the halo pushed the top one over his head.
Personally, I really like this one of the coverage.
