How Formula 1 Helmets Are Made

[@brrrake]

HOW did you manage to squeeze all of that into this video? That was seriously awesome! Fantastic work, Matt!

[@mattamys]

Thanks buddy!

[@fallende]

Yet somehow still super easy to digest. Amazing

[@Needmore27]

How can a channel that has direct access to F1 stuffs could be this underrated. Fantastic video as always!

[@mattamys]

Thanks!

[@Gangsta_Playz]

The drivers not mentioned between 0:26 and 0:36 are: Yuki Tsunoda, Mick Schumacher, Vatteri Bottas, Daniel Riccardo, Sebastian Vettel, Lance Stroll, Max Verstappen, and Sergio Perez

[@59Mrgamer]

Why mentioning it ? They all drive with other helmet than Bell

[@Dari92002]

@@59Mrgamer I think he wrote it as a summary for us to instantly know who doesn’t wear bell

[@jimbo_bomberino8606]

Verstappen uses Schuberth helmets.

[@Gangsta_Playz]

@@Dari92002 Yeah that

[@lovinglimbert7260]

Seb n mich use JMD

[@Formula4Dopemine]

I sincerely wish these videos were longer! They’re just that interesting.

[@BenjaminBauckham]

Always love these videos from you Matt, great work as always!

[@mattamys]

Thanks Ben!

Hey Matt, take my critic from this video. It is great you are able to push so much information into such a short length, however, you talk a bit too fast in this video. Not everyone (including me lol) is a native speaker and they might struggle with your talking speed of this video. You barely scrape the six minute mark, you could have easily make the vid about a minute and a half longer and it would still be really short, but with a slower pace, easier to digest. Nevertheless, thanks for the info, your vids are top notch quality!

[@C4sp3r123]

I am a native speaker but had to hit the rewind button a few times. Great insightful video, just found it was paced to fast for so much information. A few breaks in the speaking with just shots of the process would have probably helped.

[@totalmadnesman]

@@C4sp3r123 Absolutely, as I am flued as well, it was quite fast.

[@mattamys]

Thanks for the feedback, apologies I do speak fast and it’s something I’m trying to learn to resolve!

[@muditrustagi3356]

@@mattamys I think even more than the pace (cause that can be fixed using playback speed in youtube) the information was far too technical for the majority of people. I think more simplification (like Mark Robers does with his engineering videos) will help. And so keep hustling Matt - love the content so far

[@Reachrahulrambo]

Great video! Which was the last helmet? It it Grojean's, from 2020 Baharain gp?

[@mattamys]

It was indeed!

[@formula415]

This is an incredible video! Thank you so much for the time and effort that surely went into putting it together!

[@ItsAVZfromCR]

Congrats on the video! Very interesting seeing the whole process of the helmets specially Bell

[@Ares24320]

Loved the video, i do wonder why when it comes to f1 helmets bell is really active on social media and agrees to show the bts, you never see arai or schuberth do that

[@sondosoft4603]

Because they’re smart and understand marketing lol.

[@Ares24320]

@@sondosoft4603 yes they do, even one of the technicians has quite a following because he shows bts on how the helmets are prepared

[@sondosoft4603]

@@Ares24320 They’re also a much larger company to be fair and have money to throw around to do more exciting bts things.

[@Ares24320]

@@sondosoft4603 nothing fancy, they guy just does tik toks while preparing the helmets, schuberth has some amazing drivers, just wasted opportunity

[@sinoftheinternet]

grosjeans helmet at the end damnn, great video!

[@MrBananaSlice]

i would have thought there would be more tech around trying to seperate the breathing compartment from the eye area.

[@fi-d3319]

Was that Romain Grosjean’s helmet at the end?

[@pablolozano894]

yes my bro

[@_A.MCarsTrainsTravel]

Yeah Massive crash in Bahrain 2020

[@lucozade8373]

A lot of this is done by hand, respect

[@reaganharder1480]

The vast majority of carbon fiber products are made my hand. Getting a robot to reliably put the fabric on a mold correctly without wrinkles or seperating the fabric is not worth the expense and complexity.

[@YHK_YT]

This is awesome I’ve got 3 mini helmets from them (the 1/2 the scale helmets they make) one is a replica of sennas helmet. Can’t wait to get a full scale one tho

[@formulaumm7512]

You should do a series dedicated to explaining f1. Great video!

[@mattamys]

That's literally my whole channel haha, thanks!

[@d0rifto1]

cool, but i wish the video was longer !!! i could watch longer. maybe go to Schuberth or Stilo?? Ive already seen Arai tours

[@mattamys]

They all said no!

[@ethancotphotography]

This guy never misses,100% quality content every time. Keep doing what ur doing

[@tommyo4u2c]

Nice video. loved it. Would have loved a feature on Romain's Helmet you stood next to. ;)

[@krissosful]

Wow, didn't know that. Thanks for sharing👏👏

[@discomfortzone]

I’m assuming that’s Grosjean’s helmet at the end?

[@mattamys]

It was! Didn’t expect to see it there when I arrived, and thought it would be nice to include at the end!

[@jeftesantiago]

Nice informative video like always, keep it up man!

[@mattamys]

Appreciate it!

[@jeftesantiago]

@@mattamysI said it as a Mechanical Engineer Student. So, it is really important to me to know what happen behind the scene. Because, I happen to be a Formula 1 fan aspiring to be an F1 Aerodynamic Engineer.

[@itsDjCaliKid]

Crazy they don’t care to put on gloves to handle the pre preg. Not only is epoxy toxic, but the oils from the hand could cause delamination down the line. 😅

[@richard51197]

The lack of safety equipment makes me worry for the workers, looks like a really basic workshop.

[@nicolasmontiel9604]

your channel is so underrated

[@iyadkamhiyeh527]

Great stuff as always!

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

Legend! Who wants to hear about surfs***

[@BennyMiller]

Great vid! Anyone else wonder why the headquarters are in Bahrain?

[@mattamys]

Easier for distribution! They have many factories across the world but this one they were able to have next to the F1 circuit :)

[@darnoel7863]

It's because of cheap labor from Africa, Indian subcontinent and the Philippines. They pay lower than a comfortable living wage (about $420 per month) to most of these employees.

[@FlixRacing]

Thank you!

[@shvkpr1]

W vid because these are always amazing

[@DavidBeardmore]

Awesome video!

[@richardsaunders531]

nice and quick

[@shvkpr1]

Is bell owned by the same company that owns OMP? Like they had their logo on the building too

[@EmpatEmput]

Same group "Racing Force Group"

2:11 Bell Helmets - used by F1 Drivers and Magneto apparently….

[@isaachauzel149]

Carbon fibres are soooo cool

[@estudiorb]

Onde está o trabalho do escultor ? Isso não significa nada no processo de produção ?

[@ApertureApex]

Where do I buy one? 👀😢

[@mariosloizides5331]

Good morning Merry Christmas to everybody so is it possible to buy an original F1 drivers helmet?

[@maxx09]

Yo Matt

[@mattamys]

Yo Maxx

[@smgt90]

very interesting

[@mattamys]

Thanks!

[@andresil8330]

I still don’t get why they are so absurdly more expensive than other brands as their construction is exactly the same. I thought they had something special/different but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

[@quacker8046]

not all are made from carbon there are fiberglass helmets which weight more but has almost the same protection as carbon

[@mattamys]

Yep I do mention they make helmets from carbon fibre and fibre glass sheeting, but with Formula 1 it’s carbon fibre only :)

[@mrdeadshot847]

Sorry mate, but F1 drivers use full kevlar helmets. They use this, because the high G-forces

[@countersteer713]

2 mandatory ads before the video, minute long sponsored segment, 2 mandatory ads after the video. I love KZbin and constant advertising so much.

[@Trading813]

I'm working there applying putty on helmets 🙃

[@cyclonicleo]

Far too short and needed more detail. Still, nice overview, thanks!

[@mattamys]

Overviews are what my videos are, glad you enjoyed it!

[@zammyxzant]

Schuberth helmets are superior ;)

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

Holy smokes you talk fast. Had to play at reduced speed just to keep up.
