Safety in extreme environments is one of the major challenges of today’s engineering. In Formula 1, innovation in materials is key to protecting drivers in critical situations.
In a recent Mundo Deportivo article, Ernesto Pérez (FIA Certification Technician at Leitat) explains how fireproof suits can withstand exposures of up to 1,000 °C, providing a crucial time margin to act in the event of a fire.
Behind these solutions are years of research in technical fibers and advanced materials, with applications that go beyond motorsport and extend to industrial sectors where thermal resistance is essential.
