Sergio Perez has faith Formula 1 will adjust to life with the Halo cockpit protectoꦆr after the opening few rounds and feels it’s a safety move which has been a long time coming.

The Force India driver admits his team is battling the aerodynamic impac🌸t the new Halo safety device has on his 2018 car, while Williams technical chief Paddy Lowe has also warned the we⛎ight of the device will play a big role, but says it’s a fair compromise as it’ll hit each team equally.

Perez agrees with the majority of voices against the aesthetics of the H🦂alo with fears it will ruin the look of future F1 cars bu♊t underlined the need to increase safety measures over any other issues and is confident fans and drivers will get used to it after a few races.

“The Halo is definitely hurting the💦 aerodynamics a lot on our side but it's the same for everyone,” Perez 𒈔said. “It's a safety thing. After three, four races we will get used to it. In Formula 1, everything is changing very quickly.

“I expect and I hope that next year will be a really interesting year with all the teams closing up an☂d I hope Halo after two or three race♍s, nobody talks about it anymore.

“I think it's a very good decision andไ a very brave decision from the FIA. We're pushing on safety and I think it also shows this generation of drivers definitely are pushing for safety and not onl💦y for Formula 1, but for other categories.

“If you had the Halo in the last 10 years we would have saved a couple of lives already in the spꦍort. I think it's something that other sports would be proud of. Although I don't like the look, it's worth it.”

From 2018 it will become mandato💫ry for all F1 cars to run with the Halo coc♌kpit safety device having undergone extensive track testing over the past two seasons.
