Following Felipe Massa’s accident in 2009 in Hungary, helmet manufacturers decided to modify the visor structure by incorporating a section of Zylon above, which is a very resistant material – you can see this strip of Zylon in the adjacent image in gray above the white band incorporating Certina.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka, the FIA sent a letter to the drivers to encourage them to switch to this new type of visor that offers better safety. But according to the Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat<\/i>, this letter was merely a recommendation and in no way an obligation. Drivers can therefore decide not to wear helmets with this Zylon strip, which weighs only 50 grams.<\/p>\n

(Michael) Schumacher and (Lewis) Hamilton don’t use it because it allows them to save 50 grams. Maybe with the G-forces it adds a bit more (than 50 grams), Peter Burger, one of the heads of helmet manufacturer Arai, told the Finnish publication.<\/p>\n

Burger also revealed that he had to convince certain drivers – notably Sebastian Vettel – of the merits of adopting this new technology even though it isn’t mandatory.<\/p>\n

When I discussed it with Sebastian Vettel, I had to explain to him precisely why to use something that is not mandatory. I told him that as long as it didn’t bother him and there was no technical argument to say that it’s not a good thing, the precautionary principle should be used. That was enough, and now Sebastian uses this system, added Burger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
