( http://www.f1grandprix.it ) Last years Grand Prix of Hungary reminded all of us in a shocking way, how important driver protection is, and how high the safety standards actually are. A driver's helmet was hit by a metal spring at full speed -- just like a bullet from a gun. A Formula1 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.
