The technologies used in Formula 1 cars not only make them faster, but also It also makes it safer.

However, among these security technologies we mentioned:no ava pillow. But why?

In fact, the answer to this question lies in the unique design features of F1 vehicles.

Since F1 cars can reach very high speeds, they can also be used while stopping during crashes. They are a great force. Although the airbag is suitable for cars at normal speeds, it cannot provide protection against the severity of collisions at high speeds.

At the same time, F1 teams want their vehicles to be lightweight and design them accordingly. Because the airbag mechanism is heavy and does not provide sufficient safety, Alternative methods are used. So what methods?

We talked about design.

The bodywork of F1 cars is made of carbon fiber. This monocoque chassis is produced in one piece, to cushion the blow is being designed. So it essentially acts as a cage around the driver. It protects the driver by spreading the impact during a collision.

Since 2018, the ‘HALO’ system, which guarantees the safety of drivers, has also been mandatory.

This HALO system we are talking about consists of a curved bar positioned to protect the driver’s head. It was made mandatory by the FIA ​​(International Automobile Federation) in 2018.
