Marko: “Our Canopi is better than the Halo”
For the Red Bull talent scout, the Ferrari system would have been a hindrance in Alonso's accident in Melbourne
The cockpit protection system, for our Canopi friends, developed by Red Bull it would have been perfect in an accident like the one that occurred in Fernando Alonso on lap 17 of the Australian GP.
The talent scout of the energetic team is convinced of this Helmut Marko.
"If the MP4-31 of Fernando had caught fire the halo designed by Ferrari, which has three pylons in front and on the sides, would have been a problem given a structure that makes exiting the cockpit difficult” – he told the Austrian Servus TV.
“In my opinion it would not have been decisive even in a case like Budapest 2009 when Felipe Massa he was hit in the helmet by a spring” – he continued in his thesis.
“This is why I say that our project is better. The only flaw is that being a sort of windscreen it gets dirty easily, but as a concept it is ideal so as not to distort F1” – the conclusion of the former driver from Graz.
