Formula One deputy race director Laurent Mekies has said that a future for the canopy head protection system is still alive and kicking.
F1 is set to introduce head protection for 2018 after the teams voted against the halo system for 2017. The halo looks to be the preferred option, but Mekies thinks that the canopy is still a possibility.

“No, it’s not dead,” he said during the Autosport International Show last weekend. “Technically, it’s possible, it’s maybe six months, five months away if we wanted to do that."
“We are waiting for the final word from our bosses to know if they want the Halo, if they want the canopy, if they want something in between, or if they want something more aesthetically pleasing – even if there is a price to pay."
“Everything is on the table. There is nothing that we consider impossible right now.”
