F1 helmets - 50s

In the early days of auto racing (30s/40s) the helmets, were just layers of canvas coated with shellac, these early designs had no impact absorption beneath the hard shell, transferring the impacts directly to the driver's head; many drivers preferred to wear a cloth cap, made of leather to keep the head warm from the chill of the fast-moving air, and goggles to protect the eyes from dust, grit and oil.

It was not until 1952 that helmets became a required kit in Formula 1 and with the advance of technology the helmets evolved: the designes were heavily inspired by polo helmets which had a structure formed by sheets of cotton layered together and the soaked in resin to form a hard shell that had more impact absorption. But drivers still had their faces exposed, in fact many wore goggles and visors, that were attached to the peak of their headgear.

In 1954 the first mass produced helmet was the 500 T X by Bell and presented a significant improvement: it extended the shape of the hard shell further down the sides and the base of the head and it was made of fiberglass laminate. This helmet was the first to be safety certified by Snell, a foundation set up in 1957 following the death by head injury of Pete Snell in a motor race. The Snell foundation has always been a fore front in research and development in helmet protection and provided certified safety standards in motorsport until 2015, since then Formula 1 uses the FIA standards.

The German photographer saw his first race back in 1962 in occasion of the '1000 kilometres' at the Nurburgring, there he took photos for his final exams at the Bavarian State School of photography in Munich.

After his studies, he managed to open his studio of photo design in Frankfurt, but the echo of the roaring engines haunted him, so he decided to pursuit the career of motorsport photographer collaborating with numerous prestigious mototrsport publications and motoracing involved companies.

Since 1974 he has focused exclusively on Formula 1.
