Perez Car after opening lap incident - sh.itjust.works

As someone with little knowledge of Formula 1 I have a question. Seeing how fucked this car is and knowing how ridiculously expensive each car is, who is going to pay for its replacement? Will Ocon’s team have to pay to replace the car or will Red Bull foot the entire bill themselves?
A team has to foot the bill to repair their own cars.
Can you please answer my stupid question. Why there is a shaft (support frame) right in the middle of the driver’s vision? What is its purpose? Can’t they just put it to the sides so it doesn’t block the view of the driver?
If you put it to either side it runs their peripheral vision. This just splits their forward vision. This Halo, as it’s called, has saved lives.
