Daniel Ricciardo says overall vision with Red Bull's 'aeroscreen' device was "pretty good" after trialling it at the Russian Grand Prix.

Ricciardo completed an installation lap with the screen, which recently underwent static testing, at Sochi Autodrom on Friday morning.

"I think in terms of visibility it was pretty good," he said.

"The peripheral vision was fine. The structure is by the mirrors, so you're not really hindered. It's just a bit weird having a structure there.

"I had a Ferrari driving in front of me, and the points on track seemed pretty much unaltered. For sure, it's different, but the crux of it was pretty good."

Ricciardo was also asked if he felt the design could potentially block objects such as start lights, given its height, but the Australian played down such fears.

"I didn't stop and see anything like that," he said.

"I tried to have a look around and see. It [the aeroscreen structure] seemed pretty high up. If I was to stop on starting grid, I don't think it would hinder vision."
