At the moment our drivers Nico Rosberg (Mercedes GP) and Felipe Massa (Scuderia Ferrari) are running with the Schuberth F1 carbon helmet for the season 2011 in Abu Dhabi. On Saturday, both world champions Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso will use the newest helmet model from the Schuberth F1 manufacture in their racing cars. The new Schuberth formula one helmet is called “SF1 ″.

Furthermore, we are presenting two unusual design prototypes in Abu Dhabi. Nico goes with a glossy black helmet which was provided only with varnish. This shows the brilliant carbon optic. Felipe goes in a red SF1 – unusual for him. On both helmets the sponsors of both teams are also painted. However, next year the drivers will use probably their old helmet designs.

And for all Fans out there – here an impression of Felipe in his cockpit:

Recently the prototype of our new Formula 1 Carbon Helmet SF1 was the star in a fairly another type of photo shoot. We think it also looks awesome off the track. But please get an idea of it yourself!

We are happy that we have been able to win the Chinese DTM pilot Cong Fu “Franky” Cheng for the circle of Schuberth race drivers. Cong Fu Cheng, in Europe also known as “Franky” to keep it simple, is a driver in the AMG Mercedes team and relies officially on our carbon helmet RF1 since last race at the Nürburgring. Franky ranks among the most successful motorsports people in China. He could already celebrate many achievements in different international Formula series und was part of the McLaren sponsorship program. In the DTM he is the first Chinese ever who started in the most popular European touring car series.

During a visit in our helmet manufactory Franky could take his new helmet directly out of the hands of our CEO Marcel Lejeune. Afterwards our Head of Production Christof Wobst showed and explained him how a motorcycle helmet is produced. Franky was impressed by how much manual work is needed.

We wish Franky a successful motorsport season 2010 and are happy to have such an excellent ambassador in China.

On Thursday, Fernando Alonso celebrated his 29th Birthday at the Hungaroring in Budapest. Our Schuberth Racing Service gave a small gift to the Spanish Formula 1 World Champion.  My colleague Sven handed the gift to Fernando Alonso on Thursday morning in his Ferrari motorhome. The new Schuberth C3 flip-up helmet in original Formula 1 Design was painted by Uffe. The Finnish helmet designer gave him the painted design on the C3 as a present.

Our Spanish driver was so pleased that he wanted to try the helmet even in the first practice session on Friday. And on his Ducati. It looks like we have made somebody happy. Here are the photos of the helmet:

Last but not least we have to say:

Happy Birthday from all of us, Fernando!
