Grand Prix Drivers Association chairman Alexander Wurz admits he is surprised by Formula Ones rejection of the proposed Halo cockpit protection device for 2017.On Thursday the F1 Strategy Group unanimously voted against?introducing the Halo design for 2017, instead agreeing that the device needs further evaluation and testing. Although there has been no official statement from the FIA -- who have been keen to push through head protection in time for next season -- it appears that it will not be introduced until at least 2018.Wurz told Sky Sports F1: They have started the development on this in 2010 so its not just happened overnight and they presented this Halo solution as a workable first go as additional head protection.In their opinion it is a better system than anything than anything we have at the moment and this is how it was presented to the drivers just a week ago, so Im surprised of this U-turn, to go away from what the experts recommend. Already its in a design process of the race cars with the technical guides of the teams, to now step away and delay by one year, Im surprised by that.Wurz -- who competed in 69 grand prix between 1997 and 2007 at Benetton, McLaren and Williams -- dismissed that F1 has lost some of its appeal due to its approach towards safety and says he sees no reason for the sport to have an element of danger.Lets say the most popular year of Formula One in 2009 with the highest global viewing figures, there is one clear graph, popularity goes up and is stronger. The racing was close, was competitive but there is another graph which is the opposite trend, which is injuries and fatalities, it just went down. So I see no coloration at any point that we need to have dangerous racing where drivers are endangered for the popularity.The guys want to see emotion, hero to zero moments, people spinning, making mistakes, a crash yes is part of such emotion but if the safety experts say we can save a life better, I think it takes nothing away from courage. If you go through Eau Rouge with 320 [km/h] you dont think I have this Halo thing above me and therefore I do it flat, because the impact hurts anyway. Wholesale Nike React .
