F1. Keep your head

Red Bull Racing's engineers have proposed an alternative protection for the pilot's head.

In London I met engineers five teams, «Formula 1» and the FIA ​​security expert Andy Mellor.

Of course, the protection of the head — a very important aspect. In the Red Bull presented another option, which, we believe, provides a higher level of security. Our system is more similar to the aviation lights, than of Halo, but it must be tested, and we hope that this can be done very quickly. We have presented their developments on this subject and we believe that an appropriate solution can be found...
Christian Horner, Team Principal of Milton Keynes:


However, the FIA ​​still in favor of Halo, and the reason is that this protection has been tested, and the ringing option from Red Bull still has to pass a series of tests, and it simply does not have time.

Either way, an effective solution for the protection of the pilot's head should be implemented by 2017.
