F1 Helmets have to be unbelievably strong to protect the driver's head at over 200mph and resist high speed impacts. So today we are going to cut one open and see how they are constructed to be so strong, impact resistant and still extremely light.

I take my F1-grade helmet that I've been using for the last 8 years and cut it open. We examine the carbon fibre lay-up as well as how it's constructed to pass the various rigorous safety standards. Such as a projectile being shot at it at over 250kph and being heated to over 700ºC!
