By the time Formula One teams have integrated the Halo cockpit protection system into their 2018 chassis designs, the FIA is expecting the device to look more pleasing to the eye.
News that the Halo will become mandatory on all cars next year was met by significant backlash from fans as well as criticism from some senior figures within the paddock. For the most part the aesthetics have been the focus for criticism, although there is also an argument that the Halo is an unnecessary safety measure.
So far the device has only been tested as a removable prototype in order to get feedback from drivers on visibility and extrication, but next year it will become an integrated part of chassis design.
