The JB17 on the helmet is especially poignant as the halo undoubtedly saved Romain’s life, it’s just such a shame the same safety technology didn’t exist in 2014 for Jules too
254g wouldn’t have been survivable even with halo. They should’ve been going slower and they shouldn’t have been racing at the same part of the circuit that another competitor spun off at. In the rain, with giant construction equipment on the track to clear the beached car.
Wow, the opportunities you guys are getting, such a reward for all the hard work you've put into UA-cam. To actually be close enough to touch Grosjeans helmet, it's mindblowing.
although the helmet itself is pretty burnt and charred up it pretty much held together with a few damage only being cosmetic for the sponsors and the team logo but other than that I can't believe a helmet like that withstood 27 seconds of a burning car absolutely top video from you guys!
This honestly makes me tear up. I was a DTS fan and I started getting into F1 after his accident but had no clue. I loved Romain so much and when I watched the episode with his crash I was so scared and heart-wrenched. I seriously cannot imagine being there or seeing it live. I get chills everytime he talks about the crash and the impact it had on his life. Thank god for all the safety measures, the incredible marshalls and safety crew, and thank god for our Phoenix who keeps rising!
I know it's morbid, but things like this are fascinating. I wonder who has the massa spring incident helmet. That crash was horrible live can't imagine the damage caused to that helmet and if he never had that crash I'm inclined to believe massa would have been a multiple time champion
If i was Grosjean i would use this helmet to design my new helmet to remind me what i came out of alive. It would be sick to have a design that mimics the burned helmet
Great question! During the race the visor can become dirty (flies, marbles from the tire, dirt) so rather than trying to wipe it off, the drivers can quickly peel off a tear off removing that whole layer of dirt.
@@ajorngjdonaydbr This isnt true. Not sure if I've ever seen a pit crew remove a tear off in F1. It is almost always the driver who does it on a straight / on pit entry or exit when they can take a hand off the steering wheel.
The matching beige T-Shirts was not planned I promise
It definitely was...
Just noticed that lol

The halo wouldn’t have saved him
That is so scary to see but amazing how safety progressed in past years thank you for the inside guys!
Our pleasure!

Im new to f1 whats jb17 ?
Now you realise how close how his head was to catching on fire
Man that helmet looks like it’s still a bit fine (on the one side)
Wow, I don’t think anyone including me knew how hard that hit the helmet I would love to see the overalls
although the helmet itself is pretty burnt and charred up it pretty much held together with a few damage only being cosmetic for the sponsors and the team logo but other than that I can't believe a helmet like that withstood 27 seconds of a burning car
absolutely top video from you guys!
Thanks! 💜

The tear off strips actually helped protect the face as almost all are melted.
Can you imagine the video if he’d been wearing one of those driver helmet cameras we are seeing this year
They wouldn’t have shown it even if he had. Camera but yeah it would be kinda cool

That helmet is at his home in brazil. There a youtube video of massa's showing it.

I would love to take a peek inside the helmet and see how it actually held up
Can someone tell me what Bell Helmet he uses? I like the design of it.
The exact model is Bell RS7 Pro.

What are the tear offs on the side for?

If on the visor? Drivers tear them off to get rid of/clean anything that gets stuck on the visor when driving.
@@diegoleonardia5358 when they enter a pit stop, they usually say something like "Visor" over the radio and a pit member will pull the front layer off

@@Amb0ss I didn't say it was the only way it happened, I have seen pit members remove layers before also
The helmet did not save him it was the halo
First lol
