How Is An F1 Race Suit Made?

[@edmundbishop9712]

Please do a video like this for helmets!

[@leumas75]

Yes please! edit: YAS please!

Chain Bear does world-class explanations that Autosport use. WTF1 IS good, but for clearing up F1 not on that level.

They’ll never get access to the Arai factory and the Bell factory in Bahrain is in shambles

[@Johann_Gambolputty_of_Ulm]

There is something amazing about it. You can ridicule Italians about their raunchy politics, their stagnant economy, their overemotional lifestyle. But when you watch their craftmanship, be it apparel, automoto, furnitures and decor etc., it always keeps you in awe.

Fascinating. The race suit isn’t something that we usually think about. The focus is usually on the car but to know the lengths they will go to just save some weight is really interesting.

[@lagundafire]

Was awesome to see you at the karting track in Reading the other day. Love the channel. 👍

[@Manoj17Patankar]

hey wtf1, can you do a video about how race cars are timed around the F1 tracks? we've seen so many examples of more than 3 or 4 drivers being separated by a few tenths of a second.. I wonder how accurate the timing/ clocks should be for that accuracy.. wonder how these clocks are calibrated.. where do the sensors that measure the timing sit on the cars? Id love to know, Im sure many others would too!

Embroidered suits in 10 years out of date, F1 has had vinyl printed since 2009/10 (saves on weight and a better fireproof) as you can see on the Hamilton at the end

[@daninagy4173]

I love how they have their own Wall of Fame in the workshop.

[@mclarenjohnf1]

Mathew can you get to see about the new F1 helmets, I also saw on Nico R's channel that his black helmet big parts of it had no paint it was just carbon fiber with clear on top to save weight.

Saving 2 grams from perforated Velcro, but does embroidery instead of printing.

[@callumhowarth8057]

its because they use fire proof cotton stitching, they can't use any printing methods for a number of reasons. first of all they don't breath at all, second they are also very heavy, third they melt and catch fire. so stitching is the better option all round.
