The development of 'halo' is entering its decisive phase, with an updated version to make its debut in practice this weekend in Austria.
The running of the controversial cockpit protection, in titanium finish this time rather than naked carbon, will be done by Ferrari, Germany's Auto Motor und Sport claims.
The news that 'Halo 2' will make its track debut at the Red Bull Ring on Friday was confirmed by Matteo Bonciani, the FIA's spokesman.
It is reported that, for the updated titanium version, the structure has been moved forwards slightly, so that the driver's head cannot impact it in a crash.
If Friday's test goes well, the concept will be forwarded to a meeting of technical bosses scheduled ahead of the forthcoming British Grand Prix next week.
