Pérez is not convinced by the Halo

Sergio Pérez was not entirely convinced by the Halo. The Force India driver was able to test this cockpit protection system during the first test session for the Italian Grand Prix, which should be implemented in 2018.

“I was surprised by the good visibility, but I am more worried about the time it takes to get out of the car, confided Sergio Pérez in the Monza paddock. It took me five seconds longer than usual with the Halo. This is something that makes me a little uncomfortable. There is still work to be done. In a critical situation, five more seconds can be a lot. »

The FIA ​​has decided to postpone the implementation of the Halo for a year in order to complete the necessary tests and developments.
