Two months on from the public debut of Ferrari"s halo" head protection design during pre-season testing in Barcelona, Red Bull have revealed their alternative aeroscreen" concept in the build-up to this weekend"s Russian Grand Prix in Sochi.The shield which has been developed in collaboration with the FIA will be tested by Daniel Ricciardo during the first practice session at the Sochi Autodrom tomorrow.Red Bull are working to ensure that their concept is just as effective as the halo when it comes to deflecting debris away from the cockpit area, and hope that it will prove more popular with fans.The main criticism of the three-point halo idea (pictured below) was that it looked out of place on an F1 car.Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton went as far as saying that it was "the worst looking mod in Formula 1 history" in an Instagram post that was later deleted from his feed.
