After revealing their rival concept to Ferrari"s halo" head protection device yesterday, Red Bull have given the Aeroscreen" its maiden track run during the first practice session in Sochi.Daniel Ricciardo completed an installation lap with the screen attached to his car in order to check for visibility restrictions whilst giving fans a taste of the overall design.The Aussie driver had asked fans to be "open" to the idea of change, however world champion Lewis Hamilton said the screen looked like a "riot shield" and that he"d rather have the sort of closed cockpits found on fighter jets.At the time of writing, 92 per cent of TG readers have said they prefer Red Bull"s design over the halo tested on the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen last month.A decision on which design the sport should adopt will need to be made soon. Is this the future of F1?
