TECHNOLOGY: THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SPEED AND SAFETY
Low speed - High risk High speed - Low risk
"It is all about probabilities. You can never make it safe. F1 is not safe but you can do a lot of work to reduce the probability of somebody getting hurt.”

HISTORY - CHASSIS EVOLUTION
60s - Steel tubes
70s - aluminium monocoque with
bonded and riveted panels
80s - composite monocoque
Continue evolution…
Safety in F1 from the early days until today1950s : no thoughts for safety : cars, tracks , public , drivers , mechanics , etc1960s : the first safety features : rear roll bar , seat belts , helmets and overalls,
fire protections for fuel tanks1970s : the begininnings of modern Formula One. Jackie Stewarts leads the safety crusade :
drivers must be extracted in less than 5 secs, safety bladders for fuel tanks, head rest,safety structures around dashboard and pedals , front roll bar
1980 : survival cell extended to the front of the drivers’ feet1985 : frontal crash test1988 : drivers’s feet behind the front wheel axle, mandatory static homologations tests1991 : more stringent testing of survival cell, including seat belts, fuel tank and roll bar1994 : minimum headrest thickness of 75 mm1995 : longer cockpit opening, rear and side impact test , higher speed in frontal crash1998 : front roll bar test1999 : tethered wheels, higher frontal impact test speed2000 : side panels lay-up specified, higher frontal impact test speed2001 : higher roll bar testing load , higher side impact test speed, side intrusion test2002 : rear crash stucture push-off test2003 : Hans (head and neck safety) system mandatory2005 : side crash structure push-off test , higher side intrusion load2006 : higher rear impact test speed2007 : “softer” front and rear crash stuctures, higher frontal imapct test speed,
lower rear impact test speed, side zylon panels2009 : higher cockpit rim static test load2010 : second frontal impact test with no nose and full tank2011 : front side and bottom zylon panels, more demanding cockpit rim test, cockpit floor static test

THE BEST SATISFACTION
“I've had a long and good relationship with Dallara. I won the world's largest motor race, the Indianapolis 500 in one of their chassis. But performance is not the only thing Dallara think about. They are also extremely safetyconscious. I drove one of their chassis when I had the biggest accident in my career at Texas Motor Speedway, when my car was launched into the barriers at 220 miles per hour while battling for the podium in the latest stages of the race. The g-force of the impact was measured an incredible 214 g's, as the car virtually exploded from the impact. It was highest the highest g-force to be recorded in an impact, ever. But the safety cell was intact. The sheer energy from the impact left me severely injured and hospitalized for 3 months. It's not in the nature of motorsports to be "bulletproof", but I am convinced that it was thanks to Dallara's innovation and safety thinking that I lived to race another day”.
