Red Bull is to propose an alternative to Mercedes' Halo canopy concept during a meeting with FIA safety expert Andy Mellor on Friday.

The Halo is currently the preferred option following an agreement to introduce canopy-style head protection in 2017.

However Red Bull believes it has a safer alternative. Whilst the team has yet to release an image of what it will look like, it's believed to feature bullet-proof glass – as does Mercedes' latest Halo concept – but in a way in which the drivers head will be better protected.

The idea will be put forward to Mellor and engineers from Formula 1's five-leading teams on Friday during a meeting in London.

Although Red Bull believes its concept offers better protection, the FIA may choose to adopt the Halo as not only has it been thoroughly tested, it is also in an advanced stage of development.

"Red Bull is making another submission for a canopy that we believe will be a safer option. It's more of a canopy than a Halo," team principal Christian Horner told Grand Prix Times.

"Head protection is crucial. Red Bull is making another submission for a canopy that we believe will be a safer option. It’s more of a canopy than a halo, but it obviously needs to be tested and hopefully can be done very quickly."

When asked if it could be ready in time for 2017, Horner replied: "Why not?"
