Christian Horner is not a “fan” of Halo

After being tested this winter by Ferrari, then in Great Britain last weekend, again by the Team, the Halo cockpit protection system was seen on the Red Bull RB12 driven by Pierre Gasly during the private tests organized at Silverstone.

However, Christian horner, Team Principal of training Milton Keynes, conceded on the sidelines of the British Grand Prix, not necessarily being in favor of the current concept.

" Personally, I'm not a big Halo fan., and the limits inherent to the system. explains Horner, quoted by Reuters. I think it's an inelegant solution to the problem he's trying to solve. I would prefer there to be more research time to get the job done correctly, rather than rushing into something that could have other consequences. »

Protection of the cockpit of single-seaters should normally be introduced in 2017 by the FIA, but the measure must still be ratified by the teams. A vote that has not yet been won, as Horner confirms. “I will not vote for it at this time. »
