Romain Grosjean has been the latest name to voice his concerns over the proposed introduction of the 'Halo' head protection device, despite still reeling from the death of friend Jules Bianchi last year.
Bianchi passed away in July last year after sustaining head injuries in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.
But despite the tragic circumstances, Grosjean believes that the introduction of the 'Halo' device isn't the right decision.
"I have two children and I don't even want to imagine losing one of them," he said. "It's a dangerous sport, but it's very safe in the circumstances where sometimes we can do 370kph on a street circuit and mostly walk away from accidents."
"As drivers we certainly do not want safety to stop improving, but we also cannot delete the DNA of Formula One," Grosjean added.
Speaking of Bianchi almost a year after his death, Grosjean said that the family was "doing well under the circumstances".
"I went to his grave and I am also in constant contact with his father Philippe," Grosjean told Laola1.
Force India, Red Bull, and Haas have all previously stated their wish to delay the introduction of the 'Halo' device.
