Mercedes boss Toto Wolff would remove Halo with chainsaw

SILVERSTONE, U.K. -- Mercedes boss Toto Wolff thinks Formula One must address the controversial look of the Halo cockpit device, one he says he would remove with a chainsaw.

The Halo is the most significant and controversial regulation change in F1's recent history and has polarised opinions. One of the biggest criticisms has centred around how it looks on top an F1 car.

Wolff says that aspect of the structure is hard to ignore.

"I'm not impressed with the whole thing and if you give me a chainsaw I would take it off," he said at the launch of the team's W09 car.
