Grand Prix Insights - Formula 1 helmet
- 13 years ago
A Formula 1 helmet is a very high-tech device and individually designed for every driver. It is made of multiple layers, covered by a carbon shell that evenly spreads any impact pressure. Despite its strength, the helmet is not heavier than about 1.5 Kilograms. An important factor for the driver: to keep the strain on him at a minimum. AT&T Williams driver Nico Hülkenberg and F1 expert Christian Danner speak about F1 helmets.
