What's so special about driver F 1' s racing suit?
Mainly for security reasons.

Now, all the accessories worn by drivers are made of multi-layer and special aromatic polyamide plastic fabrics. These substances have been tested and proved to be able to block the blazing flame, and they need to be as light as possible in the production process considering the driver's load. In addition, it is also necessary to consider that the driver's clothes must be "breathable" in design, so that the sweat discharged from the driver's body can be released during the competition. Of course, the logos of the team and sponsors are also made of these fireproof substances, and the producers sew them on the drivers' clothes.

In addition, the modern driver's clothing also has an obvious feature, that is, there are two huge "handles" at the shoulder position of the driver's clothing. The purpose of designing these two "handlebars" is to "drag" the driver out of his car together with the seat in case of a major accident (to minimize the probability of the driver being injured in the accident). For this reason, when designing the seat, the seat is fixed to the car with only two screws. Therefore, the shoulder strap of the driver's uniform must be able to bear the weight of the driver and the seat.

The fire gloves worn by drivers also need to be designed as thin as possible to ensure that drivers can have a more sensitive "feeling" on the steering wheel, as do the racing boots worn by drivers, so that drivers can contact the pedals more accurately. 1994, when the Dutch driver Vestapan and the pit crew of Benetton team survived a fire caused by a fuel leak, the FIA immediately formulated and announced the preventive measures for all drivers' uniforms. The sewing thread of the standard fixed driver's uniform and racing suit, even the advertising strip, must ensure that the driver is not injured in the flame of 700℃ 12 seconds.
