Head Protection Technology
After showing the new helmet designs of all the Ferrari drivers last week, the Mercedes helmets have also been shipped to Valencia.
While Nico changed almost nothing on his design, Michael switched to a reflecting Chrome-Design on the dragon and the lines.
All the luck to them for the upcoming season !
It was the first time that a formula one race was held in Korea. With a good mood, all the people working in F1 were happy after an interesting and exciting race on sunday. Especially after a rainy sunday, with heavy wet weather and some chrashes on the track, all the mechanics had a lot to do. Same as us – the Schuberth Racing Service had to run a lot during the grid phase and the restart-phase. Ferrari on the one hand – Mercedes on the other hand. Having visors ready, the spare helmets with you and a cleaning cloth for dry helmets in the pocket.
Korea was a new and dirty track – and after the race was finished, we could see that, when the drivers helmets were back in our hands in the garage. On the pictures below, you may find the dirt 
. On Nico Rosbergs helmet, you find some chrash debris from his accident with the red bull of Mark Webber. Its is very interesting for us to see, what is all on a helmet after a race with a lot of fights. somethimes you find dirt, broken scoops, destroyed visor stripes, very dirty visors (even they could use tear-offs – unbeliveable but true), or tyre rubber all over the helmet.
At the end of the day, we were able to remove all the dirt and to let the helmets shine again – ready for the next grand prix.
In Abu Dhabi, we had the opportunity to take some pictures with our new SF1 helmet on Track.
Enjoy the SF1 special edition of Rosberg & Massa for the Pirelli Tyre Testday:
The last corner in Abu Dhabi and in the background the Yas Marina Hotel.
A beautiful Stewardess of Etihad was happy to act as our model sitting behind the helmets on the starting grid.
The next one is also a nice one – face-to-face – Massa against Rosberg
And the last one: carbon fibre in detail
How do you like it?
We looking forward to the 2011 Season. Stay tuned…
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:
