For the parabola $y^2 = 8x$,let $\Delta_1$ be the area of the triangle formed by the endpoints of the latus rectum and the point $P \left( \frac{1}{2}, 2 \right)$ on the parabola. Let $\Delta_2$ be the area of the triangle formed by the tangents at the endpoints of the latus rectum and the tangent at point $P$. Find the value of $\frac{\Delta_1}{\Delta_2}$.
