Max Verstappen has admitted he is no fan of the 'Halo'. The 18-year-old became the latest driver to try the controversial cockpit protection system at Monza, as the governing FIA seeks the feedback of the entire grid before introducing it in 2018.

Verstappen told the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: "It is difficult to get in and out of the car with the Halo. Also, I could see very little in the mirrors," the Red Bull driver added. "I think quite a lot of time is still needed to further develop this system. What would be the best change for it? Probably to take it off," said Verstappen. (GMM)
