According to Motorsport, Aeroscreen draft — shield like a windscreen — turned out for Red Bull's too expensive. Having invested 250 thousand euros, the top managers of the team decided to stop the work.
At the moment we have suspended all work on Aeroscreen, because we are waiting for the official decision of the FIA, they have all the information. We have neither the means nor the opportunity to continue the development of the screen...
The head of Red Bull Racing Christian Horner:
Recall that in late April on the Russian Grand Prix Red Bull tested the «safety halo.» Last collected more positive responses than the Ferrari version, but the new crash tests have shown that there is a danger of the upper part of the «halo». However, at the Monaco Grand Prix Aeroscreen or its equivalent in the next year it will already be in use, unless, of course, the FIA confirmed this decision at the July British Grand Prix.
