SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Danish driver Kevin Magnussen spoke out on Thursday against Formula One's plans to introduce a transparent cockpit 'shield', warning that it could make racing more dangerous in wet conditions. The governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) announced this week that it was focussing on the shield (screen) concept rather than a previously tested 'halo' cockpit protection system. I'm not for it," Haas F1 driver Magnussen told reporters at the Sochi circuit ahead of Sunday's Russian Grand Prix. "It looks better," commented Force India's Mexican Sergio Perez of the shield, which he has yet to test. "It's probably not at the level of halo in terms of safety but there is a lot of improvement that the FIA think can be done," he added.
