You don’t choose the perfect outfit, it chooses you.
Safety in Formula One is paramount and, in tandem with the FIA, great strides have been made in recent decades.
With the help of our Official Cybersecurity Partner SentinelOne and Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team's Sebastian Vettel, we’re bringing you insight into the technology that helps to keep drivers safe.
Sebastian is your guide as he talks through every element that protects him when behind the wheel of the AMR21.
The helmet, perhaps the most important protective piece of equipment, features fireproof Nomex lining on a carbonfibre shell.
Weighing around 1.8kg, helmets are continually updated roughly every five years to ensure they continue to improve driver safety.
The HANS device sits on the driver’s shoulders and is then clipped onto the helmet, helping to save drivers from severe head or neck injuries.
The protective clothing worn under the race suit, made from a single layer of fireproof Nomex, is designed to keep drivers safe from fire and heat for a certain amount of time.
The ultralight race suit features three layers of fireproof material and is essential in protecting a driver from fire exposure.
