"The halo maybe is not the right way to go," he told the Telegraph. "We're going to come up with something better than that."
Speaking to Autosport, he added that they were "going to have a good look at it."
"We felt despite the numerous tests conducted by the FIA, it hadn't been looked at deeply enough, and that it is going to require more time," he said. "We've also decided we will no longer be calling it the halo. We're simply going with head protection."
Despite the vote, the FIA can still force through the introduction of the head protection on safety grounds.
