I think I figured out why F1 went with the Halo rather than the Aeroscreen.

The Halo bar gives them more space for sponsors.

F1: “We’re using the halo for 2017 because there are still some things that haven’t been sorted out with the design of the aeroscreen yet, but we’re hoping to turn to the aeroscreen as early as 2018”

Everyone: “F1 THINKS THE STUPID HALO IS BETTER THAN THE SCREEN! THEY’RE IDIOTS AND THIS DECISION MAKES NO SENSE!”

I am not sure the RBR solution can take a tire flying at it directly, or another car mounting you like RoGro on Fernando. I have no idea, but the one Kimi had would make me think it could. Engineers can do crazy stuff, we’ll find out.
