Among the key providers in the Formula 1 paddock, those who supply the drivers' helmets are among the least visible, yet the most important, even influencing a driver's performance and result.
Motors Inside was able to go to Bell, Racing Force Group's headquarters, near the Bahrain circuit. The group hosts the companies OMP (belts and gloves), ZN (Zero Noise), which handles intercom radio communications or the miniature camera used for F1 broadcasts, as well as Racing Spirit (clothing).
The Belgian brand, Bell, has been based in Bahrain for several years, while the island has now been hosting Formula 1 for 20 years. The Sakhir factory can produce all sizes of carbon standard helmets, as well as customized helmets for F1 drivers.
