THE DANGERS OF BEING AN F1 DRIVER


HALO

 F1 introduced the Halo cockpit protection device in 2018 and it has already played a key role in preventing serious injuries to several drivers,if the halo no existed , the drivers  would die











SUITS SPECIALS

For F1 suits, Nomex is the most commonly used material, because in addition to being fire resistant, it is lightweight, breathable and meets the requirements, as it is also used in firefighters' uniforms and even in aerospace suits. It must have two handles in its design, so that in the event of an accident the rider can be removed from the car. if the suits special for the drivers no existed, they would die burned

HANS

The Head and Neck Support System (HANS) consists of a carbon fiber harness that is secured under the driver's seat belts and connected to the helmet by two elastic straps. In the event of a crash, it prevents excessive stretching of the vertebrae and prevents the driver's head from hitting the steering wheel. 

if the HANS no existed, the drivers would die neckless

The evolution of safety in f1

The evolution of safety in f1 In f1 is very important, since cars cannot be left as they are without improving anything. If the cars do not improve it would be dangerous for the drivers and accidents would be more frequent, that is why since 1953 the use of the helmet is mandatory if they are not used there can be very ugly accidents, the height of the anti-roll bars is also improved, they are raised at least 5 cm above the pilot's head, if they were not raised like this there will be many accidents. It also improves the fire safety in 1969 a double fire extinguishing system was incorporated, if the pilot had to put out a fire and one fails there is another, as can be seen, safety evolves at the convenience of drivers and spectators.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE F1 CAR SYSTEM

IF THE F1 CAR SYSTEM EVOLVES Formula 1 was conceived as the maximum development of racing cars. All their cars are "thoroughbred", that is, born to race. In its 69-year history, the Máxima has undergone several technical changes and its machines are the ones with the most technology at the sports competition level. IF WHEN A CERTAIN TIME PASSES TO EVOLVE THE SYSTEM OF AN F1 CAR Born in 1950, those single-seaters were very different from the current ones. They were smaller, 1.5 to 2.5 liter engines, but their speed could reach 270/270 km/h with little or no safety measures. The pilots of that time ran with very narrow tires, they did not have helmets (the first one was used in 1968) and they used leather hats, goggles and light clothing instead of the flame-retardant diver that appeared in 1967 and was mandatory from 1975. A overturning or strong blow, could be lethal. Already in the first half of the sixties the use of rear drives became common and its overall displaceme
